Cultivating a Culture of Continuous Improvement in Player Development

In episode #295, we chat with Jeff Tambellini, who is the Director of Player Development for the Seattle Kraken.

He will be sharing how he develops long-term player development plans for the prospects of the Seattle Kraken at this June's TCS Live. Secure your seat now and see him live in person!

The former 1st round pick of the Los Angeles Kings played nearly 250 NHL games with the KIngs, Islanders and his hometown Canucks, before wrapping up his career in Europe.

From there Tambellini would step behind the bench, first with his alma mater University of Michigan and then returning to his roots in the BCHL as the Head Coach and GM of the Trail Smoke Eaters.

He then graduated into a scouting role with the Tampa Bay Lightning before joining the Kraken in his current role in 2022.

Listen as he shares why you need to get your players hooked on getting better, why processing speed is an underappreciated skill, and what we can learn from championship teams in other sports.
