In this episode of the Modern Day Overthinker podcast, host Collin Strajack interviews William Person, a former USA bobsledder of nine years who now advocates for those with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Will discusses his career traveling weekly to compete in countries like Austria and Canada, initially masking CTE symptoms like memory loss, confusion, and disorientation, which began around 2002-2005 after a crash. He rationalized these issues as lifestyle-related until teammates’ suicides, one confirmed with stage four CTE, prompted him to seek help.

Will found relief through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, inspired by Joe Namath, but its $27,000 cost and lack of insurance coverage led him to buy his own chamber. He now uses his TikTok channel, "One Man with a Chamber," to share coping strategies and advocates for a non-profit CTE wellness center for athletes, veterans, and others with brain injuries. He highlights the high G-forces (up to 84.5 Gs) in bobsledding and systemic issues in Team USA, including a "good old boy system" noted in a 2022 audit. Will warns of rising CTE-related incidents, particularly among veterans, urging accessible treatment to prevent further tragedies.
