Ignored by the System — How William Found His Own Recovery

Описание: Olympic bobsledding looks thrilling from the outside — 95 mph speeds, tight turns, and world-class competition. But behind the medals lies a hidden epidemic: CTE.

In this episode of The Willpower Podcast, former Team USA bobsledder William Person opens up about his 9 years on the track, the repeated head trauma known as “sled head,” and the devastating toll it took on his brain and his life.

From confusion, vertigo, and crippling anxiety to forgetting familiar faces, William shares how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) gave him hope — and why he’s fighting to build a nonprofit recovery center for athletes and veterans with brain injuries.

This conversation is about more than bobsledding. It’s about CTE, athlete health, and why awareness and treatment access matter.
