Van den Bergh recently started working with a sports psychologist. "I played against top players like Vincent and Jonny today, yet I was only focused on myself," he told VTM 2.
"I never felt so relaxed in important matches before. I have made so much progress in that and I owe that to my sports psychologist. I am very confident on the stage and know perfectly what I am doing."
Van den Bergh was also given homework by his sports psychologist. "After every match I have to write down the experience I had. I will now rest well to be ready for my quarter final against Martin Lukeman. It has already been a good tournament, which can only get better."

- The PDC has just made it very clear that it believes that men have inherent advantages that make it unfair for anyone born as a man to compete with females. Doesn't that mean that Wayne's good intentions give false hope to all those poor weak inadequate girls, and who's going to tell Beau that she is biologically incapable of competing as an equal?Scoobedybop26-04-2026
