West Ham United has made a ground-breaking move by announcing WellO2 as their first official and exclusive supplier for respiratory health. As the first Premier League club to partner with a respiratory supplier, West Ham aims to raise awareness and educate their fan base on the importance of improving respiratory health.
Nathan Thompson, Chief Commercial Officer at West Ham United, expressed his excitement about the partnership with WellO2, emphasizing the club’s dedication to supporting their fans in both their passion for football and their pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.
The significance of respiratory health in sports has been highlighted by other partnerships in the industry, such as the PGA Tour’s collaboration with technology manufacturer Whoop in 2021. This partnership proved to be crucial in detecting potential COVID-19 outbreaks and preventing spread among athletes.
Thompson emphasized the shared values of excellence, commitment, and the importance of healthy living in the partnership with WellO2. Both entities aim to inspire and empower athletes and fans to prioritize their well-being and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.
WellO2, a Finnish-based company founded by Entrepreneur Aulis Kärkkäinen, offers a revolutionary breathing device that combines steam breathing and resistance training for the respiratory muscles. With proven benefits for elite athletes and individuals with respiratory problems, WellO2 is thrilled to start as West Ham United’s respiratory health supplier.
Richard Collinge, Performance Director at West Ham, looks forward to working with WellO2 and exploring ways to implement their devices into the strength and conditioning program for players. This innovative partnership represents the club’s commitment to seeking new methods to improve player performance.
