Luke Littler lost in a dramatic showdown to Michael Van Gerwen in the BetMGM Premier League.
The 17-year-old suffered a 6-5 defeat in the final of the second night in Berlin on Thursday.
“It’s good. I hope we can keep it that way as well,” Littler told Sky Sports.
“In this format, in the Premier League, you have to be good week after week. It’s non-stop and I think that was good for me.
“I was always putting energy into my game and that helps me in the long run.
“It is only week two. Everyone was saying ‘last week you lost in the first round’. Don’t worry, it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon.”
Littler moved 2-0 ahead before Van Gerwen hit back to move 3-2 legs in front but the pair could not be separated with the current PDC World Youth Champion close to a 145 checkout before levelling at 4-4.
They went into the final leg locked at 5-5 and both hit 180s but Van Gerwen missed the bull for victory before Littler failed to convert two darts at double 10 to allow his rival to hit double four to win.
Littler had beaten Luke Humphries and Rob Cross on the way to the final with Van Gerwen dispatching Michael Smith and Nathan Aspinall.
Kane admits 'I'd swap everything' for Euro 2024 glory
Harry Kane admits he would "swap everything I've done in my career" to win Euro 2024 with England, who face Spain in Sunday's final.
The Three Lions, who were runners-up to Italy in the delayed Euro 2020, are appearing in their second successive European Championship show-piece, and aiming to go the extra step by claiming their first major tournament silverware since lifting the 1966 World Cup.
Kane has already made history at this tournament, becoming the record goalscorer in the knockout stages of both the European Championship (six) and major tournaments overall among European players (nine).
England and Tottenham's all-time leading scorer, the Bayern Munich striker is still seeking the first team trophy of his impressive career, and he is desperate to end that wait in Berlin.
"It's no secret that I haven't won a team trophy," he told reporters during the pre-match press conference. "Every year that goes by, you are more determined and motivated to change that.
"I have the opportunity to win one of the biggest [trophies] you can ever win and make history with my nation.
"I am extremely proud to be English so, no question, I'd swap everything I've done in my career to have a special night and a win tomorrow evening, but that's not the case.
"[There will be] a lot of hard work from now and until that moment. I'm ready to go and to make tomorrow night a special one."
It will certainly not be easy for England against the most impressive team of the tournament in Spain, who have won all six of their matches while scoring 13 goals for the loss of just four.
La Roja have put host nation Germany and France to the sword along the way, and are widely regarded as the favourites to lift the Henri Delaunay cup at the Olympiastadion.
Asked if he thought that was the case, Kane added: "That's not for me or the players to decide. That's for the media, the fans to think of favourites.
"But Spain have had a fantastic tournament. They have probably been the best team, consistency-wise throughout the tournament, so they probably earn that right, but as we know in football, in one game, anything can happen.
"We back ourselves against anyone we play against. We've been through difficult spells in this tournament, but we've come through the other side. That builds a tremendous amount of belief and resilience, which is everything you need in a final.
"We expect a tough game. We're in a European final, so we expect nothing less, and Spain will be difficult tomorrow night."
Navas confirms international retirement after Euro 2024 final
Jesus Navas confirmed he will retire from international duty following Spain's Euro 2024 final showdown with England on Sunday.
The 38-year-old, who will bring the curtain down on an international career spanning 15 years, is the last remaining member of La Roja's 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship-winning sides.
Navas has appeared three times for Spain during this tournament, captaining the side in their final Group B game against Albania, while deputising for the suspended Dani Carvajal at right-back in the semi-final win over France.
The Sevilla wing-back, who will call time on his professional career later this year, admitted he has played through the pain barrier in recent years.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's final, Navas highlighted similarities between Spain's current crop and the side that won three successive major international honours from 2008 to 2012.
Although, he only lifted the lid on his international future following a conversation with skipper Alvaro Morata.
"[Morata] told me that it was time for me to speak since it is my last game with Spain!" he told reporters during the pre-match press conference.
"I have been having a problem with my hip for four or five years, but playing for my country is everything for me.
"I just want to leave everything on the pitch. You have to die for every moment here, for your team and your country. It is the biggest thing, and I am so proud of that.
"Afterwards, everything hurts, but it is about giving it all you have on the day, to be the same person with the same kind of humility.
"I am excited about everything that I have done in football and in the national team. Being here as a 38-year-old is unique and incredible.
"In those years of success, we were a team both on and off the pitch. That was noticeable when we played, and it is the same here."
De la Fuente: Spain 'want to start to make history' in Euro 2024 final
Luis de la Fuente says Spain "want to start to make history" when they face England in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
La Roja can become the most successful nation in European Championship history outright by lifting the Henri Delaunay cup for a record-breaking fourth time at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
De la Fuente's side have undoubtedly been the most impressive side during the tournament, winning all six of their matches while scoring 13 goals for the loss of just three.
The 63-year-old is looking to complete a treble of European Championship triumphs, having also won the tournament at under-19 and under-21 levels.
And the head coach paid tribute to his players ahead of this competition's dramatic climax.
"We expect a complicated match because we are two great teams, the best [of the Euros]," he told reporters during his pre-match press conference.
"We are in a great moment, but I believe this will be a very balanced match. It is a final, and in finals, it is the details that define the matches.
"Many of our players have experience in these types of games, and we are approaching the final with peace of mind and pride.
"Reaching the final of a European Championship is a football milestone, and we really want to play this match. I see the player's faces, their spirit. These players have given everything for us.
"It's a brilliant generation, many of them have come through successful youth levels, and that usually bodes well for success.
"The enthusiasm that this team has generated is not something to be taken for granted. They have earned this and worked for it. Seeing a country fully behind this team is something wonderful.
"We want to start to make history - and we have made history already in the run to [the final]. I trust in a great future. There's both present and future."
