Inspiring Journey of a Female Sportscaster 🌟⚽️

So when I went to college at Miami of Ohio, my professor said, no, you'll never be a sportscaster. You're a girl. And in fact, they gave me a show to do my senior year, which was shocking. They said, you want to co-host this sports show? I said, sure. It was a TV show. And what I didn't understand was the football coach, the basketball coach, and the baseball coach all refused to talk to me. They would not allow me to interview them. And so the gentleman that I anchored with, he did all those stories and I was stuck. And then I realized there's so many more sports on a college campus. We had archery, wrestling, and hockey, and gymnastics, and swimming. And I went to those teams and they were delighted because, you know, they get ignored. Yeah. So, they— I started interviewing them. And I wanted to be a sportscaster. And still, it was 1977. It was not something women did. And I couldn't get a job anywhere. I couldn't get an interview anywhere. And you know how in life funny little turns happen that you didn't expect that change everything? Yeah. That happened to me one night. I went to a Washington Capitals game with my aunt, who was like a sister to me. She brought a date, and he was an amateur ice hockey official, meaning little, you know, kids in high school, that kind of thing. And he was bemoaning the fact that there just weren't enough hockey officials. Kind of like today, there aren't enough officials anywhere.
