Angel Elderkin is a survivor. The head coach of the WBI champion Appalachian State women’s basketball team is entering her sixth season. In 2016, Elderkin was diagnosed with Stage 3 Endometrial Cancer. She never missed a game on the bench, traveling to and from Chapel Hill to get her treatments. She was awarded the 2017 USBWA Pat Summitt Most Courageous Award along with ESPN analyst, Holly Rowe.

You’ll be inspired by her story of survival, but also impressed by her journey through the coaching ranks. Along the way she’s worked for incredible leaders, including hall of fame coaches Debbie Ryan and Pat Summitt. She’s taken something from every stop. It culminated in her best year as a head coach last season, when App State went 22–14 and won the Women’s Basketball Invitational.
