Okay, this week's guest is Boston Bruins Center, Charlie Coyle. It's a fitting time to welcome Charlie to the podcast.

The Stanley Cup playoffs are in full swing, and the Bruins are in the middle of a tough

second round series of the New York Islanders. Charlie sits down with VP of performance,

Kristen Holmes, for a wide-ranging discussion about his journey to the NHL, the importance of work ethic,

and the connection between recovery and performance on the ice.

Kristen and Charlie dive deep on some fascinating whoop data that shows how elevated recovery

leads to a remarkable increase in performance during NHL games.

I think this is going to blow your minds, but we track the data of one all-star player

for a full season and found that he saw a significant increase in shots,

puck touches, passes, and goals on days where he woke up with an above-average recovery.

You'll have to listen for the full breakdown,

but imagine if an all-star player could score 12 more goals a year.

That's what our data showed.

So Charlie was pretty blown away by that and the whooped data.

I think you'll find Charlie to be extremely humble and down to earth.
