0:00.0 | What's up, folks? |
0:02.6 | Welcome back to the Whoop Podcast, where we sit down with top athletes, scientists, experts, and more to learn what the best in the world are doing to perform at their peak. |
0:11.5 | And what you can do to unlock your best performance. |
0:14.7 | That's right. |
0:15.2 | I am Will Ahmed, founder and CEO of Whoop. |
0:17.9 | And we are on a mission to unlock human performance. We got a phenomenal |
0:22.0 | guest this week, NFL legend and pal Larry Fitzgerald. That's right. Larry is one of the |
0:28.9 | greatest football players of all time, also one of the nicest football players of all time. And his |

1:23.7 | which actually makes Larry's story that much more amazing, that he had this amazing, amazing career |
1:28.2 | with sleep apnea. And why he did an internship at J.P. Morgan at the height of his football career? |
1:35.1 | One of my favorite things about some of the world's greatest is their willingness to walk back |
1:41.7 | down the mountain when they want to find a new way to the top, especially in a new |
