“I’ve had my WHOOP for months and I love it,” said Patrick Mahomes, Super Bowl MVP. “Heading into the 2020 season and with everything going on in the world, WHOOP has helped me understand my own training and health in a new way. WHOOP can support the entire league’s efforts in getting back to work – we want to play and do so safely.”
WHOOP will offer advanced onboarding and educational training to help players understand their physiological data as well as what changes from personalized biometric baselines may mean as it relates to increased stress or illness.
“WHOOP is proud to support the NFLPA and its players in getting back to work this season,” said Will Ahmed, WHOOP Founder & CEO. “It has never been more important for professional athletes to monitor their own bodies and take control of their health.”
