Playing catch for a year - How play affects our mental health

Author and baseball fan Ethan Bryan received a baseball as a Christmas gift from his daughter one year. On an extremely cold New Year’s Day he was suffering from writer’s block and he decided to put his new gift to use.  That led to a 366-day streak of playing catch, attracted attention across the country, and inspired others to begin playing daily.  On today’s episode we talk about what play does for our mental health, what he learned from his Catch 365 experience, and he shares stories of others who decided to accept his challenge to play catch for at least a month straight.
