How Outdoors Impacted My Life When I was young, all I did was play outside. Being outdoors was all we did as kids.

page (surely, a misprint?), brought feelings of disappointment and disbelief. I tried brushing it off, forgetting about it by 3pm. But on my way to the bus, my would-be coach pulled me aside. That conversation marked the beginning of not only my baseball success, but a battle with failure. "You caused the coaches a lot of trouble last night." - what a great start!
