My Darts Story – Djowy
I’m Djowy, 25 years old, and I’m from Tilburg. I’ve had darts in my hands since I was four years old, but at a young age, I decided to focus on football instead. Things were going well—so well that I was scouted by Willem II. Unfortunately, that adventure didn’t turn out as I had hoped, as I was bullied out of the youth team.
After that difficult period, I found my way back to darts. I joined the Tilburg Darts Association (TDV) and started playing seriously. I quickly achieved great results in the youth circuit, finishing third at the Dutch Open and third in Luxembourg. I also played in the Tilburg LACO youth team and won several rankings in Tilburg.
Darts helped me get my life back on track. It’s not just a sport to me; it’s a passion that has shaped me and made me stronger. And that passion is still burning—I’m far from done! For that, I want to give a huge thank you to R&R. 🎯
