One of the NLL's unsung heroes. A man behind the curtain. Jeremy Tallevi, an assistant coach alongside Derek Keenan for over two decades, is an unsung personality in the league. His career began as a young scout during the Toronto Rock's Les Bartley dynasty era. He then coached the Western Mustangs in the CUFLA for 20 years, winning multiple Baggataway Cup national championships. His coaching experience spans all levels—tykes, minors, juniors, seniors, and pros—culminating in the insightful leadership he demonstrates today. He's also been instrumental in growing the sport in less traditional lacrosse hotbeds like London and Wallaceburg.

His second stint with the Saskatchewan Rush began in 2018 as defensive coordinator. He's worked closely with his young, talented roster to help the team try and return to the postseason and restore winning ways in Saskvegas.

In this podcast, we discuss his approach to film and game preparation, defensive strategies, offensive and defensive players to emulate, and the importance of positivity within the team.
