SHIFT Sports Performance Staff

Brendan Tendeck

Owner/ Strength and Conditioning Coach

As the Founder of SHIFT Sports Performance, a Calgary-based company, I focus on strength and conditioning, skill development, and team performance. My background as a former hockey player and boxer has shaped my training philosophy, emphasizing discipline, growth, and building confidence in athletes. I grew up playing AA and AAA for NWCAA and landed myself a spot at a WHL Main Camp. My passion for hockey and fitness continues to grow and thats why I created SHIFT and am still a dedicated hockey coach. I combine technical knowledge with strong leadership and communication skills. I am committed to driving results and fostering positive change in the athletic and fitness community while continually advancing my professional growth.
