Step into the incredible true story of Dutch darts sensation Gian van Veen in this inspiring episode of Darts for Kids with Darren Rees, powered by Target Darts.

From growing up in the tiny village of Poederoijen in the Netherlands to becoming one of the sport’s most exciting young talents, Gian’s journey is anything but ordinary. Colourblind, he learned the dartboard through shapes and patterns instead of colours. Away from the oche, he balanced elite competition with a degree in aerospace engineering, even working in aviation logistics near Schiphol Airport.

But his rise wasn’t smooth. Battling dartitis, confidence struggles, and the pressures of expectation, Gian rebuilt his game during the quiet isolation of the pandemic.

This is Part 1 of a powerful story about resilience, mindset, and rediscovering belief — before the titles, before the big stages… when the foundation of a future star was forged. 🎯
