Q - Can you expand on what makes darts such a positive activity for young people? A - Darts teaches math skills, sportsmanship, responsibility, coordination, perserverance, and builds character through healthy competition. All of these skills are useful to the development of any child. Just the math skills alone make darts one of the top sports from an educational viewpoint.
Q - How can parents get their children involved in darts, is this just for children who's parents play the game? A - Sadly, right now most of the youth you find playing darts are the children of existing dart players. Currently, I am working on a program that will bring darts into schools at a national level. In the future, I would like to see school dart teams at both the highschool and college level. Q - I understand you are also involved in some charity events. Can you tell us a little more about that? A - Yes, right now I am planning a pro-am charity event that will include media personalities, professional athletes, and professional darters. After qualifying for the World Series of Darts alot of doors opened for me, I wanted to use that opportunity to give back as much as I could. Anytime that you have an chance to promote darts and help charity at the same time its an opportunity that must be taken. Q - You mentioned that qualifying for the World Series of Darts opened doors for you. What type of changes have occured for you since qualifying? A - When you add the sum of a million dollars in a sentence including darts all of a sudden people start listening. Because of that I have received a fair amount of media coverage. Being recognised by complete strangers is pretty new to me. But its also a great opportunity to promote the sport to people that before either never heard of it or never took it seriously. |
