Summary

Highlining Balance explores the captivating world of highlining, where athletes walk across narrow webbing suspended hundreds of feet in the air. It delves into the unique blend of physical skill and mental fortitude required to succeed in this extreme sport. The book reveals how highlining is as much a mental discipline as it is a physical one, requiring athletes to cultivate unwavering focus and manage fear.

 
Highlining is not just about balance; mastering the art of focused attention and cultivating a deep sense of inner stability are paramount to conquering the challenges posed by highlining. The book progresses from the foundational elements of highlining—including equipment and biomechanics—to the psychological and physiological demands of the sport. It examines the impact of environmental factors like wind and altitude, and it integrates insights from sports psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness.

 
You'll discover how athletes train their minds to overcome fear, manage anxiety, and maintain unwavering concentration under immense pressure. Ultimately, Highlining Balance reveals how the principles of focus, stability, and mental resilience learned through highlining can be applied to other areas of life, enhancing both professional performance and personal well-being.

    “Telling them what Jimmy did... it’s the most important thing you can tell a young player who is representing Manchester United,” - Sir Alex Ferguson 
 
This updated, family authorised biography of Manchester United hero Jimmy Murphy celebrates the career of the man who managed the club after the Munich air disaster and took charge of Wales at the 1958 World Cup. 
 
Alongside Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson, nobody in the long history of Manchester United is as important as Jimmy Murphy. 
 
As legendary Manchester United manager Busby lay in an oxygen tent in his hospital bed, recovering from the horror of the Munich plane crash, he clutched the friend of his close friend and faithful right-hand-man Murphy. Murphy stepped into Busby’s shoes and answered United’s call in their hour of need. More than that, he provided the spark which would see a phoenix spectacularly rise from the flames. 
 
Murphy would be at Busby’s side as the club famously conquered England and Europe, driven by a new generation of Babes. Murphy would remain United’s assistant manager up to 1971, going on to become a club scout, unearthing and recruiting famous talents like Gordon Hill and Steve Coppell. In his other role as Wales’ football manager, he would mastermind his country’s appearance in the World Cup finals – taking Wales to the brink of the semi-finals in 1958. 
 
The Man Who Kept The Red Flag Flying has been written in full cooperation with Murphy’s family, with unique insight from sons Nick and Jimmy Junior. It features contributions and comments from Sir Alex Ferguson, George Best, Tommy Docherty and Ron Atkinson, among many, and rare excerpts from the Daily Mirror and Manchester Evening News archives. This updated title will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Manchester United’s 1965 First Division title and the unveiling of a statue dedicated to Murphy at Old Trafford in 2023 in its honour.

    This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. 
He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window? 
But that’s enough about Mark’s attempt; there were some talented climbers on the mountain as well, and this story is also about them. How did they get on? Heroes, villains, oddballs and madmen – 8,000m peaks attract them all, and drama, intrigue and cock-ups aplenty were inevitable.
