For those of you that don’t know, WHOOP is Boston-based company that touts fitness device called the WHOOP strap, a high-tech bracelet you wear on your wrist (like a Fitbit or Apple Watch) that tracks all your health data and gives you metrics that help you improve your exercise performance, recover better, get more sleep. Will came up with idea when he was captain of the Harvard squash team and wanted to track and improve his own health data to be a better athlete. Now, the company has over $100 million in investments and has been seen on the wrists of Lebron James, Tiger Woods, and Michael Phelps. In his Golden Hour, Will discussed:

- How WHOOP has helped detect COVID-19 in the PGA Tournament

- Why he thinks counting steps is a useless metric

- What heart rate variability is and why it should matter to you

- Where he wants to take WHOOP next
