But do you know due to mental health problems on an average of almost 8 million people die each year! I know how shocking. But one of the things that prevent it is outdoor games. Playing outside helps in a time where every 8 in 100 people suffer from anxiety and depression.

American essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau once said "an early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day." You know according to one study, stress level goes down when we play outside, it improves our mood and people also experience the benefits of time in nature. Outdoor sports have many more benefits than you think it has like it improves one's memory. It also helps kids and adults to stay fit and active.
