Poor guy, at least Benning paid him before his career got cut short.
Oh jeez, that’s awful. Glad he was able to get it diagnosed and is able to do his thing now in normal life. That’s kinda scary to have to figure out something so rare. I’ve been dealing with my own stuff and at times I wonder if there’s something I’ve been missing in my treatments.
Oh man that sucks
Im going to take some hits for this but:

A lot of unknowns but in some cases it has occurred.
A similar problem happened to my mom unfortunately. (Autoimmune issues post)
That sounds horrific. Best of luck to him dealing with this.
Fuuuuck. I have a different chronic health situation and while I was never athletic before I got sick (not that I had much chance to be—I got sick at 15), I’m almost 40 now and still mourning the physical stuff I can’t do. I can’t imagine how devastating it must have been for someone who got to Poolman’s level. I’m glad religion is doing it for him, I guess, but I can’t see any amount of Jesus making me feel okay about never getting to ski again.
This really goes to show you how complicated and non-linear recovery can be. Until this article the entire fan base assumed Poolman’s career ended due to concussions, but apparently this was never the case. I hope people can use this as a lesson to not assume they know everything about player health and recovery.
