Webster gives advice to Premier League debutants: “Don’t get beaten 8-1, four weeks on the trot”

Premier League Darts will return next week for another iteration and ahead of the darting roadshow returning, Mark Webster spoke to Sky Sports about his experience in the tournament.
With multiple debutants this year, Webster gave his advice to them ahead of their first foray into Premier League action next week in Milton Keynes.
“Don't get beaten 8-1, four weeks on the trot. For me, that was when I realised I just couldn't compete at that level, week-in, week-out," he reflected, speaking to Sky Sports.
"If I got to do it again, it would be: 'It's not a ranking event, just enjoy it. You've earned your spot.'
"I started putting pressure on myself, and I unravelled really.
"When the defeats come, and they will - no player is going to win every game - just try not to dwell on it. Regroup for the next day and just enjoy it. The problem is when you get a taste, you want to be in it all the time.
“My obsession was getting back there, and it took my focus off other things. So just stay focused. Don't let it affect the other ranking events. They're all important darts events, as well as the Premier League."
"In the Premier League, you're always playing top world class players. There's no hiding space. It will be the same this year,” he added.
"It's the Premier League for a reason, and the debutants know they'll have to perform. But they proved it. They're all there because they've won something. They can do it throughout an event."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
