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.

    Is CBEX a scam? That was going through my mind for weeks when I mistakenly registered in a fake crypto exchange platform CBEX.sx pretending to be the original CBEX, I had already deposited more than a million dollars into my trading account when I realized it was the wrong website. I contacted the original website support but they couldn’t help me. I was deeply disturbed and devastated by this incident. It turned out they had cloned the website of CBEX, unfortunately this means my money is gone. I was scrolling the internet looking for ways to recover lost crypto funds when I came across Morphohack Cyber Service, a crypto recovery company. Morphohack was able to detect that it was a cloned phishing site used to deceive victims and steal crypto funds. I was shocked when Morphohack Cyber told me my funds could be recovered with their sophisticated malware and tools. I provided every information required for the transaction and wallet, and that was how Morphohack was able to recover my crypto funds without any hiccups. I was stunned by how quickly it took, Morphohack is simply the best.

    I was among several other victims of a crypto investment scam and just like others, I was hugely invested in this and ended up falling victim to a million-dollar scam. All efforts to recover our funds through the authorities proved unsuccessful and we could only wait till they can apprehend these people physically. While I was suffering in silence, a friend of mine got a hold of a Crypto recovery team Morphohack Cyber Service, he sent them all the information and their service fee was fair considering how much we have all invested into this investment. Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace and recover our crypto investment funds and gave us the address of the culprit which we handed over to the authorities, we were amazed at how quickly we were able to recover our crypto investment funds. It’s disheartening how low people could go to defraud another but I’m hugely grateful for the services of Morphohack. They were very helpful and professional.

    It’s amazing how I was able to regain access to my crypto wallet after I lost the seed phrase to my account. It happened that I mistakenly deleted the notes that held my seed phrase from my computer and was unable to access my wallet for months. I contacted support and there was no way they could assist me recover my seed phrases. A friend of mine had told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, this company after I provided my wallet address to them was able to retrieve my seed phrases and helped me regain access to my wallet. This whole recovery process took just 48 hours which was pretty amazing considering how long I have been looking for a means to get back access and I couldn’t. I’m truly amazed by their ability and dedication to the process.

    I could have lost $923,000 worth of Bitcoin if I was not referred to HackMetrix Cyber service by my colleague.
    I mistakenly sent crypto to the wrong wallet address while helping my boss carry out a Bitcoin transaction. I thought my life ended at first, and was in shock when I realized what I had just done. I never knew crypto could be recovered until my colleague at work told me about HackMetrix, this crypto recovery company was able to recover my crypto from the wrong address, and the only information they asked for was the wallet address. HackMetrix Cyber Service was able to save me from going to jail, by helping me recover this crypto. I’m so grateful and I recommend them for all your crypto assets recovery.
