This week on the @WHOOP Podcast, I sat down with @MichaelPhelps. He didn’t win 23 gold medals by just training harder. He won them by obsessing over recovery, sleep, and accountability before anyone else took it seriously.

The biggest myth in elite performance: “More work = better results.” Phelps explains why recovery - not grind - was the real competitive edge at the highest level.
