FALLON SHERROCK

As long as you put the effort in with your practice, the muscles in your arm stay relaxed and mental preparation is all it takes.

I had a lot of negative comments, but it made me stronger and made me want to do more in my game. It made me more determined if anything.

Once I get up on stage, I will have to forget who I am playing and focus on the game itself.

I'm quite proud that I've inspired so many people.

I'm constantly drinking a lot of water to flush my kidneys out. That helps my body.

The men I've played are all respectful and gentlemen towards me. I've never really had a problem. In the past a lot of people would go: 'We're playing a woman.' But now they're thinking: 'We're playing a good player.'

If I saw negative comments I tried to look past them.

Trolls online are constantly giving you sexist comments.

When I was 15, I used to go with my sister to her youth games because she was really good.

It sounds really bad but I never actually wanted to play.

I got a lot of criticism online and a lot of harsh comments.

Especially with the ladies' game, I have proved we can compete with all these men.

I don't even know what a feminist is.

In the sport itself it's fine, but online I have had constant sexist comments saying women are not as good as men.

About six months after I had my little boy in April 2014, I ended up getting a kidney disease.

Whatever happens in women's darts in the future I will be able to think I helped to achieve it.

If I can be a role model and leader, I am happy to do that.

When you play with the men, you know they don't give up.

Every little bit of hate just gees me on to do better and prove them all wrong.

If I'm in a pressurised situation, I've learned to breathe, chill myself out and be calm.

Us women can beat these men, we just need more opportunities to prove ourselves.

You always get the odd comment, along the lines of the women are not as good as the men, and I get called a lesbian.

I practise about three to four hours a day and I will play one night a week, or at the weekend in a competition.

I definitely think I can use the crowd to my advantage.

When I went to Q school, I was walking into a tournament where 500 other players all wanted the same thing as me.
