My son has been training with Brendan for several months now. He not only enjoys the sessions tremendously, but also finds that his strength, flexibility and coordination have improved measurably. Brendan is an excellent coach with great communication skills and the ability to push kids hard while at the same time making it fun and motivational. Highly recommend Brendan and Shift Sports Performance for young athletes as well as any health and fitness needs.

Brendan at Shift Sports Performance is a fantastic trainer and a great person. His ability to connect with and motivate young athletes is a gift. My 14-year-old son has thrived under his guidance, both in the gym and on the ice. He has so much respect for Brendan and is more motivated than ever to improve. As a mom, that kind of positive influence means everything. I’ve seen physical growth and a big boost in confidence, discipline, and overall mindset. Highly recommend Brendan and Shift Sports Performance!

SHIFT Sports is a place every player should experience. From on ice to off ice, the communication from their team to ours is exceptional. Brendan's dedication to each player is hands down the best we have experienced and he truly wants to see each player excel and love this game we all play and dedicate so much of our time too. My player gets excited to have Brendan join him on the ice and wants to constantly go back to learn and train from him. Ryan is so knowledgeable in working with our team goalies and getting them to push themselves. We will be returning to SHIFT Sports for the foreseeable future.

I highly recommend Shift Sports Performance to all athletes looking for a great workout and for skill development and conditioning. Brendan Tendeck has been a role model, coach and trainer to my son Oliver who has greatly benefited from Brendan’s support and leadership along Oliver’s hockey journey. Brendan’s dedication to helping Oliver improve his confidence, strength and skills have translated to much improvement while on the ice, which we are grateful.

Coach Brendan is doing an amazing job facilitating our U13 Div 2 off-ice training program. Having an off ice program was a non-negotiable for me as a hockey head coach and having Brendan run it will be a non-negotiable going forward as well. He has introduced training to our team in an organized, structured and most important, fun way. His approach to training young athethes is intellegent and grounded in current advanced technics that will form a strong base for these athethes for years to come.
