Announcing the WHOOP Podcast

Announcing the WHOOP Podcast

What does it take to optimize performance for athletes, for executives, for anyone? We’re launching this podcast to dig deeper.

When I first started WHOOP, I did not predict I’d be hosting a podcast. Over the last six years, however, I’ve gotten to meet and learn from so many brilliant people, thought leaders across sports, physiology, performance, data, technology, business--you name it. In many of these conversations I found myself thinking, “This would be fascinating for everyone to listen to.” At WHOOP, we are on a mission to unlock human performance. We measure the body 24/7, and provide analytics to our members to help improve performance. This includes Strain, Recovery and Sleep. Our clients range from the best professional athletes in the world, to Navy SEALs, to fitness enthusiasts, to Fortune 500 CEOs and executives. The common thread among WHOOP members is a passion to improve. What does it take to optimize performance for athletes, for executives, for anyone? We’re launching this podcast to dig deeper.

I’ll interview experts, industry leaders, and top performers. The conversations will focus on my guests’ careers, how they’ve influenced performance, sports, science, and in many cases where we’re going with technology. While WHOOP is sponsoring the podcast, you will not find it to be commercial in nature. The focus will be on our guests and their experiences, not a pitch for why you should be on WHOOP. As with everything we do at WHOOP, we love listening to and learning from our members. Building the WHOOP Podcast over time will be no different. Please give me feedback as you listen to the various episodes and our guests. If there are topics you’d like to be explored in more detail or guests you want to see interviewed, please don’t hesitate to reach out (my contact info below). I’ve found through many of these conversations a much greater insight into everything related to human performance. There’s something about this format, this type of longer-form discussion that really allows you to learn more and delve deeper. My hope is you’ll leave these conversations with some new ideas, and a greater passion for performance. Episode No. 1 drops tomorrow. Thank you and enjoy.   Subscribe, rate and review the WHOOP Podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you like to listen. Will can be found on Instagram and Twitter @willahmed.
