MAN Magazine - Summer 2023

Welcome to the Summer 2023 issue of MAN. I must admit, having a 19-year-old cover star who has already shone in a World Cup and established himself as one of the world’s most highly rated midfielders, made me feel a bit old. That feeling wasn’t helped by talking to boxing’s most exciting prospect, Adam Azim, whose goal is to become the youngest ever British-Pakistani world champion (page 46). Even some of the world’s hottest new car companies, which we look at on page 77, seem to have gone from 0-100 in no time. But in a world where everything seems to be happening faster and people appear to be doing everything younger, it’s worth remembering that everyone’s timeline is different, your life isn’t a race against anyone else, and it’s never too late to do anything. Thanks to all our contributors and our charity partners who have helped tackle the stigma around gambling (page 54), examined whether gaming could be good for your mental health (page 73), and explored the benefits of mindfulness (page 59)
