Brijesh Patel: Building Positive Habits & Achieving Peak Performance

This week Andrew talks with Brijesh Patel — the Associate Athletic Director & Director of Athletic Performance at Quinnipiac University. Brijesh is the head strength & conditioning coach for the 2023 NCAA National Champion Quinnipiac University Men’s Ice Hockey team. Back in June, Andrew interviewed Quinnipiac Men’s Ice Hockey Head Coach Rand Pecknold to explore the team’s remarkable rise to the top of the college hockey world that captured the hearts of millions. It was during that conversation that Rand sang the praises of his colleague Brijesh Patel. In this week’s episode, Andrew sits down directly with Brijesh — to dive even deeper into the success secrets that powered Quinnipiac’s unprecedented rise to national champions. You’ll hear important lessons on building trust, improving self-awareness, building positive habits, & achieving peak performance. This conversation is filled with so many powerful & actionable ideas that apply far beyond the hockey rink.
