Thanks in advance for your help.

I hope you can come up with simpler wording for "a centralized associate Intranet contact unit." It would take a brave reader to walk through that bit of phrasing at night. And maybe just "prioritize" (or "establish priorities among"?) instead of "manage the prioritization"?

Thank you.

The newly developed Global Plan has a clear and functional relationship with the regional air navigation plans.

Why do athletes refer to themselves in the third-person, however? They probably do regard themselves as a kind of royalty, as something larger than life—whether this attitude is their own ego speaking or something foisted upon them by the media and by fans, who knows? I suppose if you read about yourself in the newspaper far more than you reflect about yourself (your real self), you might well slip into the habit. It might also be a symptom of dissociation, a process in which an individual disconnects himself from the horrors of his daily life by "pretending" that it's happening to someone else (it is said to be common among the victims of sexual abuse, for instance, who use the multiple personality [ironically] as a kind of defense against insanity). Now it might be hard to see the daily life of a multi-zilllionaire like Deion Sanders as being filled with "horrors," but such a life could surely be regarded as something unreal, a kind of perpetual play, and a dissociation or bifurcation between the real me and the me that one reads about all the time in the sports pages might be quite convenient to the beleaguered "player."

Another possibility: athletes who use such rhetorical devices are committing what are called a hyperurbanism—like saying "between you and I" or "Whom is at the door?" They use such language because they think it sounds good. They get a reaction (and any reaction will do), so they keep using it. At least that's what we think.
