Gerwyn Price, the former darts world champion, has recently shared insights into his impressive weight loss journey. The 40-year-old athlete has successfully shed three stone, significantly impacting his performance on the oche.
Weight Loss Journey
Price’s transformation is attributed to a gradual approach he adopted over the past six months. He explained that the demanding schedule of professional darts left him little time for rest, yet he managed to lose weight while continuing to play.
Impact on Performance
Feeling more confident in his body has positively influenced Price’s performances. “When I’m putting on a medium shirt instead of an XL, it feels better,” he noted. This newfound confidence has become crucial as he navigates the challenges of competing at late-night events.
Darts Lifestyle Challenges
The darts lifestyle presents specific challenges, particularly regarding eating habits. Price mentioned that late-night games often leave players hungry, with fast food being a common late-night option. He expressed a commitment to healthier choices, stating, “I’ll have something decent in the morning.”
