Emotional support leads to sporting success

Sportsmen and women could get the edge on their opponents by accepting more emotional support in their personal and professional lives.

A study by the University of Exeter, published in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology, shows the extent to which a sympathetic ear or regular words of encouragement can improve sports performance.

Previous studies by the University of Exeter have linked ‘social support’ to performance in golf and other sports. Now for the first time, researchers have tested the importance of social support by providing individually-tailored support to sportsmen and then measuring its impact on performance.

Snookered by darts?

Why is snooker on the wane, while darts is on the up and up?


I read an article in the Daily Mail recently, which posed this question: Why is the popularity of darts going through the roof, while interest on snooker seems to be on the wane?

It's an interesting point. With the success of the world championship at Ally Pally and packed houses at the Premier League every week, darts has never been more popular. Both sports were in Sheffield this week so it seems like a good time to have this debate.

My personal view is that the success of Phil Taylor is driving darts forward. He is doing things that have been making his fellow professionals gasp in recent times. James Wade (his biggest rival) and Dennis Priestley (now probably his biggest fan) have both commented on how he is raising the bar. (full article...)

Terry ‘The Bull’ laughs off talk of retirement

TERRY ‘The Bull’ Jenkins has rubbished claims that he is ready to step away from the oche.

National press reports suggest the Ledbury pitcher is considering retiring from the sport to move into the property and antiques business.

But Jenkins has revealed those reports are off the mark.

He simply intends to reduce the number of tournaments in which he participates. (full article...)

Dartoid's World 5-1-09

Greetings!

Across the world colorful May flowers reach for the sun – but not for long in Myanmar, western China and the American Midwest where cyclones, earthquakes and tornados blow the flora, and pretty much everything else, away -

-as does thirteen-time world champion Phil Taylor in winning his fourth consecutive Premier League championship with an 11-1 semi-finals stomping of Adrian Lewis and a 16-8 (and 108 average) finals performance over James Wade. Taylor pockets the equivalent of $150,000 for his effort.

Young darts fan gets to play Phil "The Power" Taylor!

A BRAVE darts-mad Chard student had the thrill of his life when he went up to the oche to play world champion Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor.

Ben Stoker, 14, a year 9 pupil at Holyrood Community School, has had to learn to walk again after a serious hip operation resulted in him being off school for five months and wheelchair-bound.

But Ben has bravely fought back and had a massive surprise when he was invited to meet his idol.

Ben and his family went to Exeter West-point to watch some of the best darts players in competition and when Taylor heard about the young fan’s medical problems, he invited him to Bristol as his guest at an exhibition match. (full article...)
