    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12/20/16 2017 PRO BOWL PLAYERS ANNOUNCED RE-IMAGINED PRO BOWL WEEK CULMINATES WITH TRADITIONAL AFC-NFC MATCHUP AT CAMPING WORLD STADIUM IN ORLANDO ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 29 The NFL announced the AFC and NFC All-Stars for the 2017 Pro Bowl, which will be played on Sunday, January 29, 2017 and simulcast live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes at 8:00 PM ET from Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. The 2017 Pro Bowl will feature a return to the traditional AFC vs. NFC format following three years using a revised, “unconferenced” structure. The Pro Bowl players were determined by the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group’s vote counted one-third toward determining the 86 Pro Bowl selections announced today. Two additional “need” players will be chosen by each head coach and must be long snappers. The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its all-star teams. In 1995, the NFL became the first professional sports league to offer online all-star voting. Pro Football Hall of Fame running back JEROME BETTIS, All-Pro tight end TONY GONZALEZ, two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XXXV MVP RAY LEWIS, and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year and All-Pro defensive back CHARLES WOODSON will serve as 2017 Pro Bowl Legends Captains. Bettis (offense) and Lewis (defense) will lead the AFC, while Gonzalez (offense) and Woodson (defense) will lead the NFC. During Pro Bowl Week, the four Legends Captains will serve as mentors for the Pro Bowl players, coach practices, and be present on the sidelines on gameday.

    ATHLETES CAUGHT IN PERSONAL FAILING: DOES WINNING TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING? By ANNELIE LINA SOPHIE SCHMITTEL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Annelie Lina Sophie Schmittel To myself, as a reminder that anything is possible. And to my high school Latin teacher who told me I was never going to amount to anything: “Inveniam viam aut faciam” [I shall find a way or make one]. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is not a single more important section of this dissertation than the one I am about to write and the one you, the reader, are about the read. Throughout my entire life I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by some of the kindest, most generous, hard-working, dedicated and smart people in the world. The first of which have been by my side since day one (literally): my dad and my mom, Manfred and Heidrun Schmittel. Dad, it is safe to say that without you I would not be where I am today. From the subtle nudge to study abroad in the U.S. at the age of 16, to letting me move to Minnesota permanently before even turning 18, from allowing me to embark on the longest educational endeavor known to mankind (like you, I never thought it would end), to always being there when I needed you. You have always encouraged and supported my journey; in fact, it was you who started and fostered my love for sports.
