Braeden's journey spans NCAA championship hockey, professional hockey, mechanical engineering, human-performance research, and entrepreneurship. Today, he's focused on a deceptively simple question: Can better cooling help athletes perform better for longer? Braeden breaks down palm cooling, heat transfer, fatigue, strength and endurance, while also sharing what it's taken to turn years of research into a commercial sports technology company.
