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.

    THIS WAS HOW I WON THE LOTTERY: My name is Joshua Alexander from Attleborough, Massachusetts. I won $3 million from the lottery twice within just 10 weeks. I owe my success to Prof Ibrahim, a powerful spell caster who gave me correct lottery winning numbers through his powerful special spells. He has a gift for predicting lottery outcomes, and after casting his spell, I bought a ticket for the “100X Cash” game as he instructed at Family Food Mart in Mansfield, MA, which turned out to be a huge win for me. I’m sharing my story to fulfill a promise I made to myself that i will testify about him. Join me and appreciateProf Ibrahim, via Email: profibrahim98@gmail.com or Text/call/whatsapp: +27785149508/visit his websites for more services

    The Covid-19 pandemic struck the world and became a disaster for my family as I saw my finances crumbling and my merchandise folded. After the mind boggling choice for loans online and getting rejected for a small business loan by my bank and mortgage provider, I reached out to a friend and explained my frustration then she hinted me about Trust Advance Credit. I contacted them expecting the worst and more rejection as usual but surprisingly I was proved wrong with their exceptional customer service that was beyond professionalism. They omitted my low credit score and not only helped me secure a loan but gave me some incredibly useful tips to help keep my credit file in tip top shape in the future. My loan application was immediately accepted in principle and fully approved within 2 working days and I was able to revive my merchandise that had folded due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    I would like to personally thank Kev and Trust Advance Credit for their first class service and much needed help and advice. I would recommend Trust Advance Credit to anyone, you won’t be disappointed. Reach out to them via Email trustadvancecredit@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +15595931640
