In this excerpt from his YouTube video, David Brimacombe explains that while many of his concussions were the result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time—such as playing sports or working as a physical‑education teacher—he refuses to remain a victim. He emphasizes that, despite the circumstances that caused his injuries, he chose to take personal agency and responsibility for his own recovery from post‑concussion syndrome.

Now, you are not the one necessarily responsible for the situation you find yourself in. In most cases, for me at least, I was just a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time for most of my concussions— playing sports, being a phys ed teacher. But at the end of the day, I, I did not want to be a victim of my circumstances. I wanted to have agency and power. I was responsible for my recovery.
