What's up folks?

Welcome back to The Whoop podcast.

I'm your host Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop, and we are on a mission to unlock human performance.

All right, it is Super Bowl week, and Patrick Mahomes is in the Super Bowl, longtime Wook member, friend, investor, and we are going to

talk about Patrick Mahom's training and everything he's doing to get ready for the Super Bowl this

course of the season, which was quite interesting. So looking at how recovered he was going into a

game. Spoiler, he does a really good job recovering for the day of

games. Bobby talked about learnings from other trainers. So learnings from athletes like Tom Brady,

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and some of the trainers who spoke to have worked with those athletes.

We got a little bit into the Eagles and what Bobby observes is special about the Eagles.

And we also talked about Jalen Hertz, who Bobby had actually trained in the past and describes
