Beware of trying too hard! (By Ralph Chavez)
All too often, we find ourselves throwing “Not to Miss” instead of throwing with the confidence of knowing we will hit our target.
When we try to get something extra out of our throw, we generally get results opposite of what we desire... even if we are lucky enough to occasionally hit the target. Beware of trying to get that extra something! Most of the time; we end up pushing the dart toward the board with too much body movement. We lose our smooth throwing action.
Our smooth throwing action is a series of muscle movements, all in sequence. Any interference with that sequence, like trying too hard to hit the target, creates muscle tension. This muscle tension interrupts the smooth flow of our throw and causes errors in body action, our throw path, and ultimately, errors in where the dart lands in the board.
Trying too hard to hit the target actually causes an excess.....
