Sinopsis

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.

I Can't Stop Thinking About VAR...

Daisy Christodoulou

SHORTLISTED IN THE CHARLES TYRWHITT SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2025
Is it football any more?
'Fascinating and persuasive' The Herald
'Everyone involved in the VAR controversy should read this short, beautifully-written book and think again' Sir Michael Barber
In 2019, the English Premier League introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), a way of using technology to review and correct the on-field referee's decisions. It's been a disaster: players hate it, managers hate it, pundits line up to pour scorn on its decisions, and fans have coined the chant 'it's not football any more' to describe its effect on the game.
Almost every other sport in the world has managed to integrate technology into its decision-making process. Why is football failing so badly? Is it a special case, or have the game's authorities got something wrong? And what does the controversy about VAR tell us about the nature of authority, rationality and technology in the 21st century?

Conflicted Scars - An Average...

Justin Davis

An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls
		 
At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues 
		 
Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: “Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can’t I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?”
		 
As it navigates the sport’s darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.

Out of My League - The Classic...

George Plimpton, Jane Leavy

This baseball classic that Ernest Hemingway called "beautifully observed and incredibly conceived" includes a foreword from Jane Leavy and never-before-seen content from the Plimpton archives. The first of Plimpton's remarkable forays into participatory journalism, Out of My League chronicles with wit, charm, and grace what happens when a self-professed amateur has the chance to answer every fan's question: could he strike out a major league star?   Plimpton's inspired idea -- to get on the mound and pitch a few innings to the All-Stars of the American and National Leagues -- begins as a fun-filled stunt and comes to a deeply hellish, nearly humiliating end. This honest and hilarious tale features Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Whitey Ford, Ralph Houk, and other baseball greats and is "a baseball book such as no one else ever wrote, and one of the best ever."-New York Herald Tribune
