Join Sarah and Christine with their co-host Becca on this episode of 'The Mental Funny Bone' as they dive into an enthralling conversation with their guest, Will Person. With a past as a Team USA bobsledder, Will sheds light on his near-decade-long experience of plummeting down icy tracks and the hidden torment of his CTE diagnosis. The crew discusses his transformation from facing repeated concussions to becoming a fervent advocate for CTE awareness in winter sports and how hyperbaric oxygen therapy has significantly improved his life. The episode uncovers Will's mission to help athletes and veterans by launching a CTE recovery center amidst facing daunting legal battles, exposing the brutal 'good old boy' network within the sports industry, and advocating for safety reforms. Will's courage and resilience make this episode both eye-opening and inspirational for anyone looking to understand the shocking impact of untreated concussions.
