Goodge says he has avoided physios and team doctors during past challenges

What was said

"I've never had a physio on anything I've done. I've never had like a team doctor. Part of the reason for that is I feel like they're either going to tell me something I don't want to know, like something's actually wrong. And in my head, if I don't know what's wrong, I just have to push through."

William Goodge says he has not used a physiotherapist or team doctor on prior endurance projects, saying he worries they could either uncover issues he would rather not know mid-challenge or take up too much time. He adds that his crew can handle basics such as strapping an ankle and that he relies on compression tools and sleep management.
