Video: You can call Sonya Elliott ‘author’ as well as ‘coach’

A party at The Sanctuary at Admiral tonight, in honor of Sonya Elliott – who you might know best lately as West Seattle High School girls’ basketball coach, one of many hats she wears, along with athlete, model, writer, entrepreneur, and now – “published author.” Her book “Back on the Court” has just gone on sale. As described on her website, “Back on the Court” is a memoir of how she returned to “life, love, and basketball,” after surviving an accident that killed her fiancé. It’s a book that, as she describes here, has been more than a decade in the making. It’s available now; you can find it on Amazon, here.

During our visit to tonight’s party, we also asked Elliott for a look ahead to this year’s WSHS basketball season – you can see our video clip with her answer, here. But the season’s still a ways off. So, back to ‘Back on the Court’: You can meet Sonya Elliott at a book-signing party on November 3rd at The Cask in the Admiral District, 6-8 pm.

    Sonya is an amazing person! What an inspirational story. How fortunate for her to meet two wonderful guys (both Mark and Jason). I’d even pick this book for my men only bookclub but since we don’t actually read anything in the men only bookgang that would be a waste. READ THIS BOOK!
