NFL Reporter Erin Andrews on Addressing the “Shelf Life” of Her Career

9 to 5ish with theSkimm

Erin Andrews has become one of the most recognizable sideline reporters in the sports industry. She started out at ESPN in her early twenties, and eventually moved to Fox NFL where she continues to give fans updates on their favorite players and coaches. While Erin’s worked in the biz for nearly two decades, she says she knows there’s a “shelf life” to her job. But the only way she’ll stop is if they drag her off the sidelines – and Erin says, it ain’t gonna be pretty.

In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Erin shares:

• The news junkie side of her, and how it’s ruined family vacations
• How she’s proactively addressing the “shelf life” of her on-camera career
• The trauma she endured after being stalked, and how it informs her boundaries today
• How she’s built genuine relationships with her colleagues and the people she covers
• Why work became such a safe haven for her after going through her cervical cancer diagnosis and IVF treatments
