  Not a technical guide on snowboarding but, rather, a very personal approach to how to think about mountains, snow, and adventure, The Art of Shralpinism reflects the remarkable journey of snowboarding superstar Jeremy Jones. Drawing on the hundreds of journals he has kept over the years, Jones offers intriguing snapshots of time and place that include his own on-the-slope stories and white-out moments, as well as those of other prominent adventurers such as Jimmy Chin, Zahan Billimoria, and Christina Lusti. 
   
   
   
  Shralpinism is a compendium of lessons hard won: quick tips, sound advice, and impactful stories. Learn which aspects of avalanche training are most crucial to absorb, ways to anticipate slope behavior or recognize clean lines, how to cut a cornice or develop safety protocols, how to build a fitness routine, the art of the turn, and keys to developing terrain and skills progression. Jones discusses the importance of mentors, the necessity and intensity of practice, the nature of risk, and the shape of failure. 
   
   
   
  But at its heart, The Art of Shralpinism revels in the power of experience, the impact of stoke, and the beauty that underscores all outdoor adventure.

  Fitness challenges are an exciting and empowering way to push the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. They offer a structured environment to test your limits and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting on your fitness journey, taking on a fitness challenge provides an opportunity to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of what your body and mind are truly capable of. 
  At its core, a fitness challenge is designed to push you beyond your comfort zone. It’s about stepping outside of the familiar and embracing the unknown. This process not only helps you build strength and endurance but also cultivates resilience. The challenges you face, whether physical or mental, are what drive your progress and teach you valuable lessons that will stay with you long after the challenge is over. 
  Understanding the concept of pushing your limits is crucial in this journey. Our bodies are incredibly adaptable, and with the right training, they can achieve remarkable feats. However, the real challenge lies in the mind. The mental barriers we encounter—self-doubt, fear of failure, or simply the discomfort of pushing past our limits—are often the most difficult to overcome. Fitness challenges teach you how to break through these mental barriers and develop a mindset that thrives on resilience and determination.

  The battle between Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns is remembered as one of the greatest fights of all time. But in the months before the two finally collided on April 15, 1985, there was a feeling in the air that boxing was in trouble. 
   
   
   
  With Hagler–Hearns looking like boxing's last hurrah, promoter Bob Arum embarked on one the most audacious publicity campaigns in history, hyping the bout until the entire country was captivated. Could Arum possibly get a memorable fight out of these two moody, unpredictable warriors? 
   
   
   
  The Hagler–Hearns fight is now part of history, but The War explores the factors behind the event, and how it helped establish what many feel was boxing's greatest era. No book, not even George Kimball's classic, Four Kings, has focused solely on this legendary fight involving two of those "Four Kings" that boxing fans have revered for their skills and willingness to take on challenges that many fighters do not take in today's boxing landscape. 
   
   
   
  With additional commentary from many who were there, Stradley shows the unlikely path taken by two fighters searching for greatness. When the fight was over, however, each learned that fame inflicted its own kind of damage.

  Sports vision is an often-overlooked area that can be leveraged for improved performance. Most athletes invest in equipment and training without ever thinking about their vision. 
  Many scientific studies have highlighted the relationship between vision and on-field performance, and most professional sports teams employ a sports vision specialist to ensure all team members have optimal vision and visual function for success. 
  This audiobook, written by one of the premier sports vision specialists, details the knowledge gained over a 30+ year career working with Professional Athletes from all major sports from Premier League football to Olympic athletes, as well as almost every Professional league in the USA. 
  Beginning with a detailed review of how and why vision is important in sports, the book takes the reader on a journey through the vision system, identifying the areas critical to performance. 
  This audiobook spotlights the different areas that impact sports performance. From basic visual abilities (spoiler alert: 20/20 vision is not normal for an elite athlete and is rarely enough for optimal performance) to how the brain uses vision to make a decision and then how an athlete uses vision to make a perfectly executed motor action.

  When the Final Whistle Blows tells the story of a season, and a farewell. This deeply personal memoir chronicles Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 campaign under former coach, Ange Postecoglou, but ultimately becomes a tribute to fellow fan and friend, Cameron Whyte, beloved former leader of the Australian Tottenham Hotspur supporters club, OzSpurs in Sydney.  
  Capturing moments of shared heartbreak and humour – the madness of midnight matches watched in pubs, hotels and cruise ships around the world – it embodies the stubborn hope that unites Tottenham Hotspur supporters across the globe. 
  Yet, as Andrew’s year of travel unfolds alongside a season of remarkable highs and lows – fierce battles on the pitch, moments of thrilling promise but frequent setbacks – something far more profound begins to emerge. The final chapter in the life of Cameron ‘the Commander’ Whyte, a warrior in his fight against cancer. 
  While Spurs chase glory, Cameron inspires those around him by facing his final days – and his decision to pursue voluntary assisted dying – with the same fortitude he brought to every match. And when Spurs finally lift the Europa League trophy – just four days before Cameron’s passing – a story of glory, grief, friendship and incredible grace is complete.  
  All proceeds from this book are being donated to cancer research.
