All are invited to the Event Center at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, to welcome former K-State running back and current K-State Director of Football Student-Athlete Development, Joe Hall Jr. Hall recently published his first book titled, “Pay for Play: High Stake and Mental State,” and he will be speaking about the publication as it sheds light on the journey of Hall from childhood to current day as he navigated his way through personal, professional, and family struggles.

The book's aim is to contribute to the field of sports and athletics and provide insight into reasons for the growing concerns regarding the mental and physical health of our participants. Hall has provided his version of a roadmap that all young student-athletes and their parents should be incorporating as standard procedure.

All are invited, and he welcomes any questions you may have. For more information, please contact Monte Spiller, Resident Services Leader, at (785) 323-3847.
