Young dart player almost ended his career due to guilt towards his parents.

Gian van Veen and his thoughts on the future in darts

According to The Sun: Darts star Gian van Veen contemplated the possibility of quitting the sport early due to feelings of guilt for 'wasting' his parents' money. At the age of 23, he is considered the second most promising young talent after 18-year-old Luca Littler and has every chance of becoming the successor to his compatriot Michael van Gerwen. However, Gian's career almost came to an end...

“I felt bad spending their money because I knew I wasn’t showing the right results,” confessed Van Veen.

Understanding the importance of his family's support and their investments in his career became a driving force for new achievements. Gian realized that he needed to work even harder to not let down his loved ones and achieve success in darts.

Such experiences show that even experienced athletes suffer from the pressure of expectations. Gian van Veen demonstrates that awareness of his family's contributions can be an important factor in achieving success and developing a career. Continued effort and focus on improving results can restore his parents' faith in his talents and abilities.
