USA Cycling has partnered with WHOOP, ‘the human performance company’. The partnership will provide USA national team athletes and their coaches with tools to optimize athletes’ training.
As USA Cycling noted, there will be increased visibility into individual and team performance based on personalized sleep, strain and recovery data. Using a team dashboard, coaches, trainers, and staff will be able to make decisions to reduce fatigue, overtraining, and injury among their athletes, while at the same time respecting athletes’ privacy.
“WHOOP has a revolutionary approach to training and performance data management,” said Jim Miller, USA Cycling’s Chief of Sports Performance.
“They will give the Team USA athletes, coaches, and support staff more insight and data points – allowing the team to make better-informed decisions about performance and recovery for each athlete.”
He continued, “WHOOP provides an evident edge in understanding recovery and performance. We can unlock a rider’s potential with more data around their activities, the strain they’re under, what’s working for their recovery, and race performance.”
“We’re excited to partner with USA Cycling and empower its members to achieve their goals on and off the bike,” said Jeremy Powers, WHOOP Senior Marketing Manager of Cycling.
“We work daily with some of the best cyclists, coaches and teams from around the globe. Riders like US road champion Lauren Stephens and the EF Education First – EasyPost team use WHOOP day in and day out to be their best. We’re ecstatic to support the work Jim and Team USA are doing, and be a part of the USA Cycling community.”
In addition to the national team support, WHOOP will offer USA Cycling members a 15% discount on its products and services, including the new WHOOP 4.0. USA Cycling members can access their member benefits by accessing the benefits portal of their membership account.
Licensed coaches with USA Cycling will get a 20% discount on WHOOP products.
