info_outlineWhen we watch Olympic bobsledding, it looks fast, thrilling—and smooth.
But for the athletes inside the sled, it’s anything but.
As the Winter Olympics approach, host Sasha Graham sits down with William Person, a former Team USA bobsledder who competed for nine seasons after an elite career in track and field. What followed his retirement was a decade-long descent into confusion, memory loss, migraines, emotional darkness, and symptoms that no one—doctors included—could explain.
In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, William shares what many athletes are only now beginning to understand: bobsledders experience repeated micro-concussions and extreme G-forces—sometimes exceeding 80Gs—on every run, even without crashing. The result? A condition known as “sled head,” mounting brain trauma, and symptoms strikingly similar to CTE.
William opens up about:
- The hidden neurological dangers of Olympic bobsledding
- Why micro-concussions may be more dangerous than major crashes
- Losing teammates to suicide and living through undiagnosed brain injury
- The moment a New York Times investigation finally gave his suffering a name
- How hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) dramatically reduced his symptoms—and may offer hope to others
This episode goes beyond sport. It’s about what happens when we celebrate athletes without protecting their brains, why loved ones often recognize CTE symptoms before doctors do, and how advocacy, awareness, and emerging therapies could save lives.
If you care about athlete health, concussion awareness, mental health in sports, or the true cost of Olympic glory—this is an episode you need to hear.
