Ethan Bryan
Ethan Bryan played and wrote about baseball for years. His stories earned him invitations to speak at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York and attend the Kansas City Royals World Series celebration at the White House.
On January 1, 2018, his daughters challenged him to set out on a yearlong experiment: to play catch with someone every day. This experience led him across 10 states and 12,000 miles on a quest both quixotic and inspiring.
Traveling from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to the home of the Daytona Tortugas in Florida, Bryan played ball and swapped stories with public school teachers, veterans, journalists, nurses, musicians, entertainers, entrepreneurs, athletes from every level--amateur to pro--and members of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Plus, he visited famous destinations such as the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, Rickwood Field, and the original "Field of Dreams" in Iowa.
Along the way, Bryan learned valuable lessons that touch every aspect of life:
How humans are created to play for the entirety of their lives.
The impact of play on mental health.
How play strengthens creativity, perseverance, and creates community.
A fan of Dr Pepper and the Kansas City Royals, Ethan Bryan is passionate about inspiring others to live a good story through the power of play.
