At this time, Phil voluntarily resigned from his job in AG Hackney and got 2000 pounds in compensation, which was the biggest adventure he had ever taken. After resigning, Phil devoted himself to his darts career. He used the money to marry yvonne and gave birth to two children: Lisa and Chris. They live in Black St. Burham. Eric sponsored Phil for ten thousand pounds. The condition is that if he wins the prize money in the competition, he will pay it back in full. Phil attributed his success to Eric. He said: "Eric is the person who makes others succeed and the main reason why he can reach this position." Eric's attitude deeply influenced Phil. Eric said, "He is only interested in winning the game, and nothing else matters." Phil quickly accepted the idea. He is the first darts player to win the world championship without ranking in the world. He beat Bob Anlson at the Canadian Open with 1990 and 5- 1. Soon, he improved his position in the field of darts with several excellent victories.
He started playing for Burslem Central Club in CIU League, and two months later, his progress made him enter the super club. 1990, he stood out among 125 players and steadily won his first World Ambassador Cup. "A lot of local people bet on me and won a lot of money." Phil said.
As a player without ranking, he has defeated many famous opponents. He said: "It was my first time to compete, and I won, which caused quite a stir in the darts world. Because I am a newcomer, a player without ranking, and no one knows me, but I walked into the stadium and won my first world series. This shocked those professional athletes. " Since then, good things have continued. That competition also qualified him for the 1990 embassy competition. He was the last one to qualify for the competition, which was his mentor-Eric's favorite competition. Eric was ranked first in the world at that time and had won five professional championships. Phil beat Eric 6-0 in the final.
Eric wanted to take Phil under his command at first, but he had to face the challenge. Phil set himself a high goal from the beginning, not only to win the world championship, but also to win as many world championships as Eric. Some people think that Phil's success is just a flash in the pan, and he can't repeat Eric's history. But 1990, Phil became the world champion, ranking first. In the following year, he made impressive achievements, winning 48 of 50 games, including doubles and threesomes. Later, he was appointed as a representative of the national team and his popularity increased greatly. 1992, Taylor beat Mike Gregory 6: 5 to win the championship. This is a wonderful final. The game was watched by 65,438+0,654,380,000 people on TV, which made headlines at that time. After the bad luck of 1993, Taylor returned to the final at 1994 in Purfleet, but unfortunately lost to Driss Pleister. However, in the eight years after 1994, Phil maintained the position of world champion every year and became the most shining superstar in the world of darts. He has become the focus of the darts competition, but he can still remember his roots. He also often plays in the cricket club in Botham. He ran the club for many years until he was unable to manage it and had to hire a full-time manager.
Until 2002, Phil won ten world professional darts championships, five James World TV darts championships and many other world darts competitions. In August, 2002, he competed with Chris Metzen in the James World TV Dart Championship, and created 9 miracles with a score of 50 1.
In June 5438+October 2002 10, Phil won the world professional darts championship for the eighth time in a row. This is unique not only in the history of darts, but also in other sports history. In the world championship in August of the same year, he magically scored 50 1 with 9 darts, thus reaching the peak of darts.
From 1999, 1 1, Phil began to win the game on TV. Phil became the undisputed top player in the world in his time and became very rich in the history of darts. This time, he finished the competition with nine darts and won a prize of 65438+ million pounds.
Phil has always been ambitious. His first ambition is to break Eric Blisto's five-time world champion. He won his sixth world championship with 1998 and became the first player to win the world championship for four consecutive years.
1999, when he won the world championship for the fifth time in a row and became the seventh world champion, he broke the record of six snooker championships in Stephen Hendry. Phil said: "I want to win more championships now, and no one can surpass me in the future, just like the amazing record of Peter Shilton 1000 football league matches."
Phil admitted: "I was frustrated many times in the early days of my darts career, but since I used unicorn darts, everything has gone smoothly." I signed a long-term cooperation contract with this company. " My unicorn darts have brought me confidence, and I believe anyone who uses unicorn darts will help. "
He trusts unicorn darts so much, and he likes to give his darts to those children and young darts lovers after participating in the competition. After the Pfirter World Championships, he gave the darts to the son of phil jones, a famous host of darts.
He continued: "I believe in my darts now. I put the used darts in the cupboard and take out a new pair of darts every time I participate in the championship. "
Phil is not only the winner of Britain, but also the overlord of American sports. In Belgium, he made his own brand of incredible products. He said: "I always feel that I can score 5,065,438+0 with nine darts in the strong confrontation, not only when I practice at home, but it is my long-term wish to try my best to finish the game broadcast live on Sky Sports Channel."
Phil's dramatic success story is worth remembering, because he started late in this sport. He didn't really throw darts before he was 26, and he didn't even remember throwing darts as a child. It is obvious-he is a genius.
1997 was a perfect year for Phil and unicorn. 1After winning the world championship in June, 1997, it successively won the world champion of news cup and the world champion of live broadcast by Sky Channel.
"Different from before, now I have a lot of valuable experience and confidence. I will stay energetic as long as possible, continue to compete and practice, and I can continue to win for unicorns for many years. " Phil said.
Phil lives in Newcastle with his wife yvonne, children Lisa, Christopher, Kelly and Natalie.
"I am now a 100% professional player. I will continue to travel around the world, take part in many major competitions, and stay number one in the world as long as possible. I hope that future generations will say: No one can win Phil Taylor. "
Because of its outstanding performance, he was honored as the "world darts emperor" by the outside world and was awarded the MBE medal by the Queen of England.
Phil has been challenging the limits of human beings, and he has undoubtedly left an indelible glorious page in the history of world darts and world sports! Kyle Thoburn (Alberta) asked:
"Will the pressure after missing darts have a cumulative impact on the game? Or is each dart as important as the previous dart and the last dart? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"I play darts like a snooker player, such as Stephen Hay Endeley. Concentrate on every dart. "
Tungsten boy (Canada) to ask:
"When you throw darts, there seems to be a very obvious way to release them. How do you control your breathing? Is there any way to control excitement and nervousness? By the way, do you use non-slip wax? Because I noticed that sometimes you put your hand in your pocket before throwing darts.
Phil Taylor replied:
I just throw darts in my natural way. I have no deliberate skill in this respect. I always throw darts like that. Indeed, I used non-slip wax.
Nico asked:
"What do you think is the difference between the two darts federations?"
Phil Taylor replied:
"There is no difference for darts players. Great darts players are always great. Obviously, PDC has done more in promoting darts, so that darts competitions are broadcast live on TV from time to time. "
Undine (Netherlands) to ask:
"Dear Phil, what do you think of the discussion of darts? If professional players can give some advice, such as how to throw darts correctly and how to prepare for an important game, it will be very good for an inexperienced player like me. Maybe you think the only way for a darts player to do better is to compete with a better darts player? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"Yes, I think it's a good idea. I've done this before. Especially in the Netherlands, the darts coach there seems to be a little more serious than that from Britain. I also agree that you must compete with excellent darts players to maintain and improve your game level. "
Marshall asked:
"I want to know where is the best position on the throwing line? How do you cope with stress? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"The center of the throwing line. Stand there all the time and keep your body straight. Coping with stress requires experience. We are still studying every day. For example, darts in the Premier League is still new to us, which is completely different from what we have experienced before. So you always have to deal with new situations and new forms of stress. Experiencing these things can help you learn how to deal with these pressures. "
Anne Kramer (USA) asked:
"What's the best advice you got from Eric?"
Phil Taylor replied:
"He told me that training will never reach the standard! Eric always wants you to invest 100% and train, train and train again! Self-confidence, of course. He always tells me, "You'd better win this game, because you still owe me money! " "
Magnus (Sweden) asked:
"How much psychological training have you received?"
Phil Taylor replied:
"A lot of psychological training is carried out in the mind. But in fact, mental preparation and physical preparation complement each other. There is still one year to go before the next World Championships, and I have already started thinking and gradually started to make physical and mental preparations. Everything I do is to prepare for getting closer to the annual World Championships. "
Martin asked:
"Phil, for such a long time, you have been the number one player in darts. Besides the motivation to win more world championships, what else can make you concentrate? What do you want to do once you quit the dart altar? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"I like this game, I really like it. There are new players and new challenges they bring. I am encouraged by the number of new players. Of course, it also makes me proud. I really don't know what I will do once I quit this sport. I will have a beautiful villa on the island of Spain, that's all I know! "
The unicorn child (USA) asked:
"Dear Phil, I have a problem. I recently found a set of old darts used by my father. I tried it and found that I could triple 20, 19 or any other score I wanted. Then, I used the original dart stick again and found that I couldn't hit it correctly. I use 2 1g darts, and I feel very comfortable. These old darts are 18g, and they feel uncomfortable. My question is, would you rather not use heavy darts that feel good, or use light but uncomfortable darts? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"Always use the most comfortable darts. You must make yourself comfortable, otherwise you will always encounter problems. "
Albert asked.
"I like you, is a big family. I know how hard it is to devote myself to my work and find quality time to spend with my family. To have such a great career requires long-term dedication, and there are competitions everywhere every day, especially the World Championships during Christmas. How did you find this high-quality time? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"You must create time, it's as simple as that. Of course you have to make sacrifices. Everything you fight for in life is accompanied by the sacrifices you have to make. But I have become a professional player, which is much better. In the early days, I played darts, and then I had to build roads for the rest of the time, but you have to do this to achieve your goal. "
Charlotte asked.
"Hello, Phil. I 17 years old this year and joined the youth team in Andover. I want to be a world-class darts master (maybe another Trina Gulliver). How many hours should I practice every day? Do you have a training plan that I can use? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"I'm training with andy hamilton for a day now? Three hours. If I start going to the gym every other day (I train every day now), it may increase to 4 hours a day. But you must find the right balance, and it must be positive and beneficial, otherwise it is meaningless. "
Nico (South Africa) to ask:
"I don't know how much time I need to invest in training and sports. 1) How many hours do you spend in front of the dart target every week? 2) What kind of physical exercise do you do to keep healthy? "
Phil Taylor replied:
"As mentioned above. I always try to do better and become a better darts player. I am doing physical exercise. I often take a walk, use the treadmill and do sit-ups. I'm about to start light weight exercise. I also play squash and swim, and exercise more than before. I enjoy it very much. "
Pilo (Netherlands) to ask:
"When I watched your darts competition, I noticed that you had a special darts holding action. You've been playing darts like this since you started? Or the result of years of practice? "
Phil Taylor:
"I have been throwing darts in exactly the same way. This is the natural way for me to throw darts. "
