I focus on each leg and not what the score is.
— Fallon Sherrock
The women's game has come on leaps and bounds.
Especially with the ladies' game, I have proved we can compete with all these men.
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.'
I'm just a normal person.
I started playing when I was about 16, and I got picked for the England youth team when I was 17 because I was doing quite well. It's all spiralled from there.
I practise about three to four hours a day and I will play one night a week, or at the weekend in a competition.
The sport has come on - we do not just play in pubs any more and there are massive international competitions.
I've made history, I've just beaten one man, who's to say I can't beat more?
There's more women who can play like me if not better and we just need more recognition really.
I never get really nervous.
I have learned from experience with the BDO and the ladies tournament.
I don't see myself at a physical disadvantage.
I have helped darts in general.
It made me a stronger person, and more determined. I don't know if I'd still be as strong if I didn't have all that hate. I needed hate to make me more determined.
It sounds really bad but I never actually wanted to play.
I know I've probably got a massive target on my back now, because everyone wants to be better, to beat me.
In the sport itself it's fine, but online I have had constant sexist comments saying women are not as good as men.
I'm so proud to help put women's darts on the map.
Who's to say I can't beat anyone?
I definitely think I can use the crowd to my advantage.
I feel really proud of myself for helping to put the ladies' game out there.
I got a lot of criticism online and a lot of harsh comments.
We just do not get the recognition or the opportunity to play against these men, so obviously you don't see it that often.
Against the men I have a point to prove. So I have more determination whereas, when I'm playing the women, we know each other's games so well. I need that extra boost just to prove to the men we can compete against them.
Every little bit of hate just gees me on to do better and prove them all wrong.
When I was 15, I used to go with my sister to her youth games because she was really good.
I feel I can concentrate a bit more on playing darts now people are just seeing an equal playing field.
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.
Being included in just the U.S. Darts Masters was amazing enough but to now be able to go worldwide is something I could only dream of.
Us women can beat these men, we just need more opportunities to prove ourselves.
If I'm in a pressurised situation, I've learned to breathe, chill myself out and be calm.
I'm just me, a normal person.
