In joining WHOOP, she has found a team with a shared passion for unlocking human performance. WHOOP has provided Kristen the opportunity to confirm what she suspected about the factors which support human performance, while gaining her access to medical teams, tactical athletes, as well as meaningful data on the athletes she has been working with for years.Listen in to hear why sleep is so important to human performance, and how we can optimize our rest to live happier, more effective lives.
