This man is helping K-State football with inspiring words ... and a sledgehammer

Make room for a sledgehammer.

It looks like Kansas State football players will have a new toy to carry onto the field before games next season, and maybe some new swagger to go along with it.

Both are gifts from Ben Newman, a motivational speaker/performance coach who has worked with North Dakota State, Alabama and the Miami Dolphins. He is now sharing his methods with the Wildcats.

You may have seen his first interaction with the K-State football team about three weeks ago. He spoke to the entire roster of players and gave them a stirring speech about hard work and unity.
