Player interview - Boris Krčmar

1. Your play-style

I don’t have any particular style as I just play based on my instinct and feeling. I just grab the darts and throw it following my own instinct.
I have always played in this way since I started to play darts. It is my natural play style if you would to say so.

　Stance:

　Grip:

　Aiming:

When I throw the darts, I just focus on the target. The bull is the only thing in my eyes.
If I need to hit the bull, I just need to focus on the bull and don’t look at the darts.

　What are the steps you do when you approach the throwline?

I don’t have any special steps.
When I throw darts, I always just focus on winning hence am only thinking about hitting the target.
Relax and concentrate. I don’t focus on anything else. Just the darts board and particularly the target.

2. Your practice focus point (stance, grip, throwing etc.)

I also don’t have special training method.
When I’m in my club in Croatia, I play with my friends in cricket and 01 games with double in double out. I usually practice match games.
But I think you must train every day. Training and training. After that the key is to believe in yourself.

3.What will be your advice for C-flight, B-flight, A-flight player?

Training and practice. But first of all you might believe in yourself. Tell yourself that “I can do it!” That’s all.

4.The key to win competitions and the way to overcome the feeling of tension

I only focus the match, and I enjoy playing darts.

I like tournaments and competitions.
I already played for 10 years but every time I still can’t sleep well one day before tournament because I can’t wait for it. I just love it, tournament and games.
Actually I feel a little bit nervous, especially now as so many people are looking me which make me think that I must win.
However, once the match started I forget all other things and focus only on the match in the same time enjoy playing darts.
The key is you must enjoy darts even though in the competition.

Ex. Have you ever felt very pressured during game?
(You said sometimes you also have a bit pressure, sometimes maybe bigger pressure, do you still remember it?)

In the beginning when I started to enter into competitions I had a lot of pressure.
But now, I join in tournaments every week which is held all over the world.
Now I have almost no pressure (of course still have a bit) while enjoying the game.
It’s very important to keep my mind stable.

5.Do you have something to tell readers?

Practice every day and don’t copy other players, you must find your own style.
You don’t need to change the style if you feel good when shooting and control it.
Every player has a different style.
I have my own style and I didn’t copy any other players’ style.
And when you play darts you must relax and enjoy it.
Enjoy it is the KEY!
