Book Club
Darting Essays: A Coaching Critique by David Kirby is the
second in a series of five books aimed at both darts
players and coaches alike.
The book covers a wide range of topics,
from warming up your brain, through
longevity and even etiquette on the board
in a series of short and informative essays
aimed at all levels of player and coach.
It’s unique format, the book being split into
a number of short essays, means that there
is at least something that every single dart
player at any level can take away from the
book, and in truth the book contains a lot of
things that some players should read about and
learn.
It has certainly helped me anyway. I have found
myself analysing my game and thinking about
finishing, scoring and my behaviour on the oche in a
totally different light since reading the book.
Other Books In The
Series:
There were certain elements that I would say are
not for me, such as discussions on yoga and other
‘alternative’ methods of improving your game, but
then that’s just personal preference! One thing I will
guarantee is that, for the price, you will not find a better
collection of darting knowledge from an experienced sports coach who
has worked in a wide variety of sports before becoming involved with
some high quality dart players.
If you haven’t read it already I would highly recommend you order
yourself a copy, and while you’re there pick up the first book too, it’s
just as good and I will even go as far as saying that between them they
will improve your game (as long, of course, that you are dedicated to
making an improvement).
