InEvery Day I Fight, Scott channels his trademark energy and irreverence seen onSportsCenter into tackling his disease, and approaches his seven years of treatment and healing with a jock’s mentality.
Scott believes thatlike any athletic matchupcancer will beat you up physically, but in the end, the most daunting challenge is mental. He carries that belief into his strategy sessions with his doctors, chemo treatments, and the operating room, and refuses to slow down or quit working.
