Matt Lampson's cancer battle

With sports journalism focusing much more on the performances of the players and their standard of play across the season in the midst of the stats and analysis, it's not often we get the chance to look at the person behind the athlete; often replacing on pitch theatrics for the person that provides them (we're all human after all!). But one story that stands out of late is that of Matt Lampson's recovery from cancer diagnosis and treatment to playing in the MLS. Cancer is obviously going to be tough for anyone to deal with (not to sound trite), and his sense of determination and willingness to battle is something I'm sure team mates of Matt Lampson will be aware of in the dressing. And it shows the fighting spirit of the athlete that we can all find in ourselves when faced with adversity. A young man with a mature head on strong shoulders, I'm sure we will be hearing more great things from him in the near future.
