<p><a href="/biography/beth-mowins">Elizabeth Mowins</a> is an ESPN, CBS, and Marquee Sports Network play-by-play announcer and sports journalist. She usually calls women's college sports, and in 2005, she became ESPN's second female announcer for nationally televised college football games. In 2017, she began doing play-by-play for NFL games.</p>

<h2>Childhood Impact</h2>

<p>While she was growing up, she used to watch various sports on TV. It was a family tradition for Beth's family to all gather and watch games together. All this exposure to sports helped her get acquainted with various sports terminologies and keywords. She used to learn the players' names so she could analyze their key strengths and weaknesses. There was a big field behind her family house where she and the children from the neighborhood used to play various sports.</p>

<p>Beth grew up with three brothers and was the only girl, which allowed her to develop a passionate relationship with sports at a young age. Her Father, Len Mowins, was a basketball coach while her mother was very involved with ice hockey. With her entire family being sports orientated, it was only natural that Beth was as well. Being as immersed as she was at a young age allowed her to quickly learn the terminology needed to help her later in her sports career.</p>

<h2>Education and Early Career</h2>

<p>Beth joined ESPN in 1994 as a game commentator. She covered many sports, including basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, and college football. She began working for ESPNU in 2005 and loves calling College Football Saturday games.</p>

<p>She graduated from Lafayette College in 1989 with a BA, where she was also the varsity basketball team captain. She was a three-time all-conference selection; she scored 1,000 points and maintained the school's record of all-time assists with 715. She did internships for college radio, giving sports updates and news. This helped her to be recognized by a lot of employers who loved her work.</p>

<p>Mowins didn't end her education after getting her BA. She went on to earn her master's degree in communications from Syracuse University in 1990.</p>

<h2>Aspirations and Controversies</h2>

<p>Beth's main aim is to cover the New York Yankees and NFL games. There have been many controversies in Beth's work. One of which is the stigma of gender roles; some people could not bear the fact that a woman could announce men's sports. There were many rude comments, teasing that one woman announcer is unbearable. She brushed off the negative feedback because there are more of those who praise her for her work.</p>

<p>Beth is constantly on her toes; her job keeps her busy for 45 weeks of the year on the road, and that's just travel time. Every game requires her to spend a considerable amount of time getting to her destinations. She doesn't mind the travel, though, because her career is moving in the right direction, and sports is where her passion is.</p>

<p>Beth openly claims that when she was very young, she had dreamt of becoming a broadcaster. She would use her toy microphone and present her first broadcasting shows as a child. At nine years old, Beth saw Philly George on TV. Philly was a former Miss America and also one of the first female sports commentators. It was this moment that added fire to her dreams. Beth's role models are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin_Scully">Vin Scully</a>, who retired after being a sportscaster for 67 seasons and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Jackson">Keith Jackson</a>, who passed away on January 12, 2018, after his long career as a sports commenter for ABC Sports.</p>

<h2>Secret Personal Life</h2>

<p>The rumor of Beth possibly being married arose when there was a snide comment about how she announces her events. Some hostile media members would ask, "how could a man bear a woman with such a stupid voice?". There are multiple public images of men standing with her. The media have tried to use these images to pinpoint any one of them as her boyfriend or partner.</p>

<p>She has never talked about her personal life or her relationship with her parents. She once said that her career started at the age where women began becoming interested in me. She is implied that her job was more important and a possible love life had to take a back seat. She talks a lot about her career, explaining how she jumped one obstacle at a time, which allowed her to move to the position where she is today.</p>

<p>Following Illinois' 38-35 victory over Northwestern Saturday, Beth was given praise by many viewers for her commentary during the game.</p>

<p>Mowins is one of two females, along with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Ward">Pam Ward</a>, who call college football games for ESPN. Beth feels <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Ward">Pam</a> is excellent at her job and jokingly said that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Ward">Pam</a> allows her to "really suck at what she does." She praised <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Ward">Pam</a> as a real trailblazer and gave women the opportunity to inform viewers during a game. In 2017, Beth became the first woman to play by announcing for the NFL on CBS in its 58-year history and the second female in NCAA history.</p>

<p>ESPN takes a lot of pride in being an equal opportunity employer and integrating women into its broadcasts. They feel that women can make an equal amount of contributions to their sports broadcasts in this day and age as their male counterparts.</p>

<p>Some viewers believe the work of Beth could have a substantial impact in the future. She knows that she is a role model and acts the part very well. She says that she hopes what she does can inspire girls out there to go into sports broadcasting.</p>

<h2>Awards:</h2>

<p>In 2009, Beth was inducted into the Greater Syracuse Hall of Fame. In 2014, Beth joined previous honorees <a href="/biography/robin-roberts-biography">Robin Roberts</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Brennan">Christine Brennan</a> by accepting the CoSIDA Jake Wade Award for outstanding media contributions covering collegiate athletics. In 2015, Beth was honored by Syracuse with the Marty Glickman Award for leadership in sports media. Beth has built a long and decorated career for young girls to follow.</p>
