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."

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- He used this kind of anger as motivation to get past this round. Next round he will revert to his usual form. 90 or below ave and a defeat.medinabello23-12-2024
