AJ Andrews on Her Mother’s Cancer, Mental Strength & Making Sports History | Health Is Wealth
Barrier breaker. Daughter. Gold Glove winner. Fighter.
In Episode 6 of Health Is Wealth, Dr. Myron Rolle sits down with trailblazing pro softball player AJ Andrews—the first woman to win a Rawlings Gold Glove—for a powerful conversation about visibility, vulnerability, and the cost of being "the first."
AJ opens up about her mother’s cancer diagnosis and the emotional journey of balancing personal fear with professional pressure. She shares what it means to carry the expectations of a movement while quietly holding space for her own pain—and how she’s learned to transform that weight into purpose.
This episode explores the unique health challenges women, especially Black women in sports, navigate—from physical wellness to mental endurance and generational resilience.
Topics include:
Her mother’s ongoing battle with cancer.
The pressure of breaking barriers in a male-dominated sport.
Managing identity, body image, and expectations as a public figure.
The importance of rest, mindset, and emotional strength.
Why honoring your family is also an act of self-care.
Health Is Wealth is a PlayersTV Original Series hosted by former NFL safety, neurosurgeon, and Rhodes Scholar Dr. Myron Rolle. Each episode features vulnerable, purpose-driven conversations that spotlight the health journeys of athletes and culture leaders redefining strength.
