TV Host, Gold Medalist, Author, Speaker, Founder Victoria Arlen TV Host, Gold Medalist, Author, Speaker, Founder Victoria Arlen’s life drastically changed in 2006 at the tender age of eleven when she developed two rare conditions known as Transverse Myelitis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. This was an incredibly rare scenario, and Victoria quickly lost the ability to speak, eat, walk, and move. She slipped into a vegetative state, in which doctors had written her off as a lost cause. Victoria spent nearly four years “locked” inside her own body, completely aware of what was going on but unable to move or communicate. Doctors believed there was little hope of survival and recovery was unlikely. Victoria, however was not ready to give up. Instead of writing her obituary, she wrote a bucket list of the things she would achieve when she survived. In 2010, after almost four years she began the nearly impossible fight back to life - learning how to speak, eat and move all over again. Victoria went on to defy the odds and not only recovered but has since become an accomplished Motivational Speaker, Television Host, Philanthropist, Writer and Swimmer. Her swimming resume includes three silvers and one gold medal from the London 2012 Games, as well as multiple World, American, and Pan American Records. In April 2015, Victoria made the transition from professional athlete to sportscaster and joined ESPN at the age of twenty, becoming one of the youngest on-air talents hired by the company. She reports and hosts across all platforms including Sportscenter , First Take , NFL Live , This Just In , X Games , College Football Live , Sportscenter on Snapchat , Sportscenter Global , College Gameday All Access , and Special Olympics to name a few. In the Spring of 2016, Victoria defied yet another odd and after spending a decade in a wheelchair paralyzed from the waist down was able to learn how to take one step after another and eventually not only did she learn how to walk but within a year and a half in the Fall of 2017, she learned to dance as a contestant on Season 25 of Dancing with the Stars placing in the top five. Victoria is also the founder and co- chair of Victoria’s Victory Foundation, a nonprofit that assists those with mobility challenges. Since 2017, VVF has given out over half a million dollars in scholarship funds to those who need it most. Victoria’s book titled Locked In hit stores worldwide in August of 2018 as well as her 30 for 30 titled Locked In , which Victoria narrated and produced. Victoria continues to share her story on various speaking tours throughout the world.

Discipline, authentic, purposeful, stubborn, will, fearless Morton Andersen Discipline, authentic, purposeful, stubborn, will, fearless Born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, Andersen came to the U.S. as an exchange student, attending Ben Davis High School. The school had no soccer team, so Andersen tried out for the football team on a whim and quickly became the team’s kicker. It didn’t take long for colleges to notice this new talent. The next season, Andersen was playing for the Michigan State Spartans. At Michigan State University, he was named All-American and Academic All-Big Ten in his senior season. The New Orleans Saints drafted Andersen in the 4th round of the 1982 NFL Draft. His first year was challenging. After his first kickoff he injured his foot, forcing him to miss the next eight weeks of a strike-shortened season. However, it did not take long before Andersen earned the name, “The Great Dane”. By the time he was done, Andersen made 6 Pro Bowls and 309 out of 389 field goals attempted. He scored 1,318 points during the time he played for the Saints. After the 1994 season, the salary cap was adopted in the NFL. Negotiations with the Saints fell through, and so Andersen signed with the Atlanta Falcons for the ’95 season. In his first year with the Falcons, Andersen made Pro Bowl, with 31 of 37 goals attempted. In ’98, he made the most memorable kick in Falcons history when he kicked a 39 yard goal in overtime to defeat the Vikings in the NFC Championship. Andersen stayed with the Falcons through the 2000 season. He then spent a season with the New York Giants, two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, and a season with the Minnesota Vikings before finishing his career with the Falcons in 2007. During that last season, he had the most accurate season of his career, making 25 out of 28 field goals attempted. During his remarkable career in the NFL, Andersen is the only player to hold statistical franchise records for 2 NFL teams. He played in a record 382 games. He’s also the lead scorer in the history of the NFL and the all-time leader in field goals made. Morten Andersen Global was started in 2009. With this business-to-business consulting company, Andersen offers international business consulting, brand promotions, event planning services, and public speaking engagements. Andersen also provides kicker services and personal consultations, and is currently writing his second book, titled ‘A Certain Kind of Stubborn’ . The Morten Andersen Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization that Morten started with his wife, Jennifer. The foundation raises money for quality of life programs for children and youth. The foundation also created the Special Teams for Special Ops program which raises money to support critically wounded Special Operations Soldiers and the families of the fallen. Morten notes, “There’s plenty on our plate and plenty of exciting things coming up in the next stage of our life.” TOPICS A Certain kind of Stubborn What you give will grow, what you keep will perish Life is a Kick Live a Hall of Fame life BOOKS Life Is a Kick PAST CLIENTS Certified Angus Beef Grundfos Pro Football Hall of Fame National Football League New Orleans Saints Better Collective
