The Real Cool Runnings: From Olympic Dreams to the Brink of Suicide, and the HBOT Recovery.

In this episode of The Knock On Effect Podcast, we sit down with former Team USA Bobsledder William Person. His story begins like a real-life "Cool Runnings" — a track athlete pivoting to the ice in pursuit of gold. But behind the high-speed thrill of bobsledding lay a mounting toll of concussions that eventually pushed William to the absolute brink.

After years of suffering from late-onset symptoms, William found himself contemplating suicide. That all changed when he discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

In this episode, we dive deep into:

• The Bobsled Toll: The physical reality of "micro-concussions" at 90mph.
• The Mental Health Crisis: Why William reached a breaking point and how he clawed back.
• The Kanye West Connection: We discuss Ye’s recent public struggles and why many "mental health" diagnoses may actually be undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI).
• The Invisible Epidemic: The connection between brain trauma and military veterans, road trauma victims, and domestic violence survivors.
• HBOT as a Solution: How oxygen therapy is changing the game for athletes and anyone suffering from the devastating symptoms of MTBI.

William is now on a mission to ensure no one else has to suffer in silence. Whether you’re an athlete, a veteran or someone who has hit their head in a "minor" accident, this conversation could save your life.
