EP. 22 Developing Mental Toughness: Life lessons from the baseball field with Tyler Rahmatulla

Today, we have a VERY special guest…Tyler Rahmatulla, Stephanie’s son and Kayla’s brother!

Tyler is a husband, father of 3 boys (and another one on the way), and former professional baseball player. He played all through his childhood in to his adult years – from Mater Dei High School, UCLA and ultimately playing for the St. Louis Cardinals’ minor league teams. In this episode, he talks with us about the life of a collegiate and professional athlete and how it demands a mental toughness in order to be successful.

 Throughout Tyler’s baseball career he worked with some incredibly wise mentors, coaches and fellow athletes. Along the way he learned lessons of “mental toughness” that he put to use on the field and continues to implement in his daily life today.

Among those mentors was Ken Ravizza, a sport psychologist, who played a major role in changing Tyler’s mental game for the better. He consulted with countless athletes and helped them reach peak performance  - all starting with their mind.

 “Destructive little voices in your head are often fueled by destructive emotions. Try to turn off your emotions and think logically”- Ken Ravizza

Some topics we cover:

  • Confidence vs conceit
  • Preparation / planning
  • Control the controllables
  • Being Present

Tyler also hosts a podcast: The Brushback Baseball Podcast

It covers all things baseball, baseball, and more baseball. Tyler and co-host David Klein (avid Dodgers fan, stat memorizer, and semi-pro baseball historian) are at opposite ends of the baseball spectrum but use this dialog to share each unique perspective. They aim to share weekly discussions of MLB news, life/mindset of a ballplayer, the business side of baseball and interviews with players, coaches, and everybody in between.

You can find them on Apple Podcasts, SpotifyYouTube, & Instagram.

    Bitcoin Recovery Testimony – From a Retired Doctor

    I never thought bitcoin recovery was real until it happened to me.
    My name is Mark Breton, and I lost $230,000 worth of bitcoin to an investment scam.
    It looked so real, so convincing, and I trusted them completely.
    By the time I realized it was a scam, everything was gone.
    I felt helpless and angry, not knowing where to turn or what to do next.
    Days turned into weeks of frustration and regret.
    Then I came across Cloudstrike Cybersecurity Company.
    I was skeptical at first, but I decided to give them a try.
    From the first moment, their team was responsive and very professional.
    They listened, asked the right questions, and got to work immediately.
    To my surprise, they were able to recover all my lost funds.
    It felt unreal to see the funds back in my wallet.
    Their level of expertise and dedication is truly remarkable.
    If you’re a victim of crypto scams, I strongly recommend reaching out to them.

    Free airdrops have emerged as a popular marketing strategy in the cryptocurrency world, enticing users with the promise of complimentary tokens. However, the excitement surrounding these offers can sometimes lead to unfortunate consequences. I was caught up in the excitement of a new airdrop that promised free tokens, but it turned out to be a scam. I lost 140,000 USDC when I connected my wallet to a malicious link. The emotional toll was immense, and I felt helpless, unsure of how to recover my stolen funds. In my desperation, I turned to Cyber Constable Intelligence, a service specializing in tracing stolen cryptocurrencies and recovering lost assets. From the initial consultation, I was impressed by their expertise and professionalism. They worked tirelessly to recover my stolen funds, keeping me informed every step of the way.

    I’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery. Please join me in thanking Lord Meduza and his contacts are listed as follows;
