There’s one “disturbing” aspect about perpetually being on the road that still bothers CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins.

Melanie Collins adores her job as an NFL sideline reporter for American network CBS, but there’s one aspect about being on the road that she finds “disturbing.”

The New York Post reports that during a recent “Ask me anything” session on Instagram, Collins was pressed about whether she gets tired from all the travelling. The TV star replied that while she does, in the end, “it’s all worth it”.

“It’s disturbing how many hours of my life I’ve spent sitting on planes,” Collins posted to her Instagram Story on Monday, sharing a photo of the Delta Air Line miles she’s racked up, which tallied more than 1,900,000 kilometres.

In addition to her NFL gig with CBS, Collins is a host on the Golf Channel. She has also covered college football and college basketball for CBS Sports in the US and worked for Yahoo Sports.

Collins added in a separate Instagram Story that she’s grateful for her professional opportunities.

“It’s not lost on me how lucky I am to call this my ‘job’,” Collins posted.

When asked about career advice for prospective broadcast journalists, Collins advised them to “get all of the experience” they possibly can while still in school, among other crucial tidbits.

“Be open minded about your role or title … the industry continues to change and evolve,” she said, adding: “Always be the most prepared person in the room.”

Collins also advised future on-air personalities to simply be themselves.

“Develop a thick skin, be yourself, say yes to anything that will get you experience, and don’t take yourself too seriously!” she wrote.
