“Even.without.the.change.I.feel.that.we.would.have.had.good.chance.of .making.the.tournament,”.she.added..“.I’m very confident in the work that the girls have put in during.the.off-season.and.in.their.improved.abilities.”

The.trip.from.invincibility.to.vulnerability.is.short.and.scary..Wendy.Anderson.knows.this.very.well..She.is.on.the.road.between.the.two,.gripping.the.wheel.of .life.tightly.and.hoping.for.the.best.. Like most athletes, she’s been flying down life’s four-lane highway.without.fear..Then,.suddenly,.she.hit.the.brakes... “I.remember.the.day.the.doctor.said.something.didn’t.feel.right.when.he.examined.a.lump.in.my.breast,”.she.said... That.was.in.October.when.Anderson,.the.women’s.volleyball.coach.at.The.Citadel,.was.worried.about.real-life.things.like.beating.UNC.Greensboro..But.those.things.would.soon.take.a.back.seat.on.this.journey..The.next.step.was.a.mastectomy.and.reconstruction.of .her.left.breast..Then.more.bad.news..She.would.need.chemotherapy... “Once.I.got.over.the.shock.of .all.this,.I’ve.tried.to.approach.it.like.an.athlete.and.a.coach,”.said.Anderson,.who.is.37.years.old..“I’ve.had.challenges.before..This.is.just.another.one.”. A.very.important.one..

GROUND.ZERO.. Athletics.brought.Anderson.this.far.and.will.no.doubt.help.her.the.rest.of .the.way..One.of .six.children,.the.Cowpens.native.knew.the.only.way.she.would.go.to.college.would.be.through.sports... So.she.worked.hard,.earned.a.volleyball.scholarship.to.Clemson.and.got.her.degree.in.education..After.a.year.of .teaching,.she.landed.the.job.as.head.volleyball.coach.at.Converse.College..In.her.spare.time.she.started.playing.handball.(the.international.game.played.on.a.basketball.court),.played.on.the.U.S..national.team.and.became.a.world-class.player.in.that.sport..

. Her.next.challenge.came.in.1999.when.she.accepted.the.job.of .building.the.women’s.volleyball.program.at.The.Citadel... From.ground.zero,.she.has.brought.The.Citadel.women.to.respectability.during.her.six.seasons.at.the.military.school..Last.year,.they won their first Southern Conference game. . “We’re.getting.better,”.Anderson.said.of .the.program..“I.knew.it.would.be.a.challenge..As.a.coach,.I.like.challenges.”.. But.as.a.volleyball.coach,.she.has.some.sense.of .control..As.a.cancer.patient,.all.she.can.control.is.her.attitude..

TEACHING.OPPORTUNITY.. Last.Friday.night,.she.had.her.team.over.to.her.house.and.they.ceremoniously.cut.her.long.hair..Each.player.snipped.a.lock.and.saved.it..Anderson.said.it.was.emotional,.funny.and.frightening.all.at.the.same.time... “I’m.going.to.lose.my.hair.during.chemo,”.she.said..“So.we.decided.to.cut.it.off .as.a.way.of .preparing.for.this..My.girls.are.

wonderful..It’s.been.emotional.for.all.of .us.”.. But.it’s.more.than.that..It’s.also.an.opportunity.to.teach..Anderson.certainly.didn’t.know.this.detour.in.her.life.was.coming,.but.now.that.she’s.on.this.road,.she.wants.others.to.learn.from.it... “I.feel.this.has.happened.for.a.reason,”.she.said..“Maybe.I’m.supposed.to.be.a.spokesman.to.reach.young.athletes.and.educate.them.about.this..I.sat.my.team.down.and.talked.to.them.about.being.aware.of .breast.cancer..It’s.not.something.that.just.happens.to.your.grandmother.or.your.great.aunt..It.can.happen.to.your.sister..It.can.happen.to.you.”.
