Today's Play: Olympian and educator Steve Brown shares the incredible story of how sport shaped his identity—from a fearful 10-year-old in D.C. to representing Trinidad in the Olympic Games. Steve reflects on the hurdles he faced—literally and figuratively—and the unexpected people and institutions who showed up for his dream. He reminds us that keeping an open heart, and open mind, just might be the key to discovering the support you didn’t know you had.
