A young Erin Andrews had been watching journalist Hannah Storm interview Charles Barkley, the great NBA player, when she turned to her father and said: \u201cDad, that\u2019s what I want to do.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Her father, a career investigative television reporter who had instilled in Erin a love of sports and storytelling, had a realistic response: \u201cErin, everybody wants to do this for a living.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Andrews enrolled at the University of Florida and made it clear to everyone around her that she had one ambition. Her friends knew too, scrawling \u201cSee you on ESPN\u2019\u2019 in her college yearbook.<\/p>\n

Andrews, now 44, is one of the most recognized faces on television. The broadcast journalist who has broken barriers in a male-dominated profession recently delivered a keynote address at evr\u0113<\/a>, UCHealth\u2019s signature health event celebrating women.<\/p>\n

Advice from Erin Andrews<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On March 11, more than 600 women gathered at UCHealth Training Center<\/a> to hear about Andrews\u2019 high-wire career and learn how she navigated personal struggles, including cervical cancer and the loss of two babies.<\/p>\n

Andrews offered enthusiasm for Sean Payton, the Denver Broncos new head coach<\/a>, and Deion Sanders, the new coach of the University of Colorado Buffaloes<\/a>. \u00a0Proceeds from evr\u0113 were donated to Help and Hope, a human services organization serving people in Douglas and Elbert counties.<\/p>\n

Andrews\u2019 broadcasting career accelerated upon her graduation from college. She worked as a sideline reporter for the Tampa Bay Lightning, then Turner Sports before landing at ESPN. She now covers the NFL for Fox Sports<\/a>. During her career, she\u2019s covered the NHL, MLB, college football and basketball, and hosted Dancing with the Stars with Tom Bergeron and the Scripps National Spelling Bee. She recently launched her own clothing brand.<\/p>\n

Through it all, she\u2019s learned important life lessons along the way: Study harder than everyone else, have a thick skin, and always say \u2018yes\u2019 to opportunity.<\/p>\n

And go to the doctor.<\/p>\n

Andrews said her mother, a public school teacher who taught art, made sure her daughters went to the dentist to have their teeth cleaned and to the doctor for an annual physical.<\/p>\n

Years later, Erin, who has a healthy sense of humor, jokes that one of the appointments she never misses now is to one at the salon \u201cto have her roots done.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Even for a woman who is on an airplane four times a week, ping-ponging across the country to interview the greatest athletes in sport, Andrews has always found time to get to a doctor for an annual physical and a pap smear.<\/p>\n

You must find the time to care for yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2017, week 3 of the NFL season, during a meeting with co-workers on the Saturday before the Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants game, a familiar phone number popped up on her cell phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sitting in the meeting with all the guys, I\u2019m one of two females that travel with about 30 guys, and I see the gynecologist calling. On a Saturday? This isn\u2019t good,\u2019\u2019 she told the evr\u0113 crowd.<\/p>\n

Andrews stepped out of the meeting to take the call in private.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy doctor said, \u2018Your pap came out a little strange, and I am a little concerned here.\u2019 And I said, \u2018how concerned?\u2019 And she said, \u2018you need a hysterectomy,\u2019\u2019\u2019 Andrews said.<\/p>\n

But what about football? Could the Giants stop the Eagles offense? What about the Super Bowl that she would cover in February? She had to be at Dancing with the Stars on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have time to get a hysterectomy,\u2019\u2019 she thought.<\/p>\n

Andrews and her family weighed options and she opted for surgery to remove half of her cervix on a Wednesday, after Dancing with the Stars. On Thursday, her doctor called to say the surgery was not successful because cancer was found outside the margins.<\/p>\n

After hysterically bawling on the couch with Jarret Stoll, a former NHL hockey player<\/a> who would later become her husband, Andrews gathered herself: \u201cI\u2019ve got to get on the red eye. I\u2019ve got to interview Randall Cobb. \u2026I wasn\u2019t missing the game.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

She needed to get to Lambeau Field for a Green Bay game. Her husband, mother, father, and doctor implored her not to go. She\u2019d deal with it by going back to work, not sitting at home. Andrews covered the game, walking up and down the sidelines, looking great as always but feeling a little awkward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to be honest with you, wearing an 18-hour protection pad with wings on the field at Lambeau ain\u2019t the best feeling, but you\u2019ve got to do what you\u2019ve got to do,\u2019\u2019 she said, drawing laughter from the evr\u0113 crowd.<\/p>\n

She later made an appointment with an oncologist who recommended another surgery to remove the rest of her cervix, though that doctor did not recommend a hysterectomy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter my second surgery, things were a little different for me. I completely learned that I had to start putting myself first. I was very, very forthcoming to a male-dominated industry about how common cervical cancer<\/a> is. Cervical cancer should not kill you. It is curable, but you have to go to the doctor and get checked<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get it, in 2020, everyone was afraid to go to the doctor (because of COVID-19), but you\u2019ve got to get back in. You\u2019ve got to take care of yourself,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Cancer free and onto the next challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Andrews is so grateful to be cancer-free and at the pinnacle of her career, interviewing the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and covering the NFL\u2019s premier games. She and her husband are also trying to have a baby, she told the crowd at evr\u0113.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have had a tough time getting pregnant,\u2019\u2019 she said. \u201cI have gone through eight rounds of IVF (in vitro fertilization). You want to talk about a time on your body? Really fun,\u2019\u2019 she said, using humor to deflect the hardship of her struggle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWant to talk about doing it (injections) when you\u2019re doing the Brown\u2019s game and it is coming down to the wire? And you\u2019ve got to take a shot on time, and you have your big security guard running you in (to a locker room) and all of the fans are like \u2018Erin Andrews!\u2019 and- you\u2019re like \u2018yup, hold on.\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

She has resorted to playing Disney music to help her relax before giving herself an injection, but \u201cwhen you\u2019ve got to do it in the middle of a football game, I just laugh, because humor is the only way to get through it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

And then, in a moment void of frivolity, Andrews shared that she and her husband had lost two babies. In the fog of grief, her initial instinct was to do as she always had done, drown herself in work.<\/p>\n

While her husband grieved immediately, throwing himself on the bed and bawling, Andrews said she turned on the NFL Network to see what was going on in pro football.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how I cope,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Andrews, who makes a living being articulate and accurate in her reporting, realized two weeks later that she had lost her ability to form sentences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just missing words. I was out with my girlfriends, crying, trying to talk, trying to be funny, trying to be myself, and probably about a month after, I had one of my managers, who is also one of my best friends, say: \u2018You are not OK. And you need to go get help.\u2019\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Realizing when you need to seek help<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The babies died in the summertime, and the crutch that she has always leaned on wasn\u2019t in season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have the Denver Broncos, didn\u2019t have the Green Bay Packers, didn\u2019t have the Dallas Cowboys to kind of get my mind off it,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

The woman who had broken barriers in broadcasting was now broken herself. She turned to a therapist to help her express pain of extraordinary loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that was one of the very best things I could do for myself and for my husband and for my fertility journey, to try to get better for my job and for everything. I have realized that I have got to take a step back. If I\u2019m not good, my husband\u2019s not good, my home\u2019s not good, and my job is not good.\"women<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t hold it in. … You have got to talk to people, whether you talk to someone online, whether you talk to friends, whether you talk to your parents.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Andrews has always been a person who loves exercising, but in grief, it became mandatory along with meditation, listening to soothing music and setting daily intentions.<\/p>\n

And football.<\/p>\n

Of Sean Payton, the Broncos new coach, she said: \u201cDo I have any predictions about Sean Payton? I have one prediction: Denver is going to love him. They are absolutely going to adore him. I worked countless games at the New Orleans Saints with Sean Payton on the sidelines. Talking to him in our conference calls, talking to him on the sidelines, talking to him coming out of the half, whether he was up or down in the game, he is one of the most candid, passionate, real coaches out there and he is going to turn things around here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really bummed out to lose him as a teammate on Fox, but I am so excited to work with him again on the sidelines during games. So I can\u2019t wait to see him.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

And on Coach Prime, she had this to say: \u201cI think, first of all, the buzz is huge right now for Prime, as it should be. He\u2019s one of the coolest cats out there. He is as real as they come. I am so excited for what this fan base \u2013 and almost jealous \u2013 about what this fan base is going to experience. You see the reaction, not only from the fans but the kids in my world. The day that it was announced that Prime was going to Colorado, I was on the sidelines working a football game, and all the coaches were talking about it saying: \u2018This is going to be big, this is going to be huge, this is going to be massive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so what college football, D-1 college football, needed. I am just jealous that he is not in the SEC. I wanted him in the SEC, so Colorado, look out because I am going to be saying, \u2018Come to the SEC, Prime.\u2019 But he is the best. I love him, and I am so proud of him and proud to call him a friend. And he has turned this Gator fan into a Buffs fan pretty quick.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just magic. \u2026 You can\u2019t not cheer for the guy. The smile is infectious, the style is infectious, he\u2019s so real. I used to say for the longest time that I was giving my kid to Nick Saban, but he may be going to Prime whenever I have my kid.<\/p>\n
