An adverb modifies a verb (or another adverb). In your sentence, what word does quick/ly modify?

The verb "changes"

Then we need an adverb to modify it. Quickly is an adverb, quick is an adjective. Now, you'll often hear people (including native speakers) use adjectives in place of adverbs, but you certainly shouldn't do this in any formal context, and to be safe, you may want to avoid doing so altogether.

Changing the minds of his palyers in a short amount of time

That works too. In that case, "in a short amount of time" is an adverbial phrase, which functions like an adverb.
