What motivates you? Are you driven by success in your tasks? Or by how you achieve that success? What thrills you most – the rewards at the end, or the chase itself?
We all fit into one camp. Some of us, into both. The same goes for sportspeople – we can class them as either ego-orientated or task-orientated.
An ego-orientated tennis player would typically be motivated by rewards and would push
themselves harder for a significant title or prize money. A task-orientated player is driven by the
pursuit of improvement – and while they obviously play to win, they enjoy the process as much as
the winning.
For task-orientated players, climbing a few spots up the rankings can be just as rewarding as
lifting a trophy.
We lift the lid on what it actually means to 'trust in the process.'

About Baseline Tennis:
Baseline Tennis adds colour and context to the stories behind the game – both familiar and lesser-known.
Standing apart from the maelstrom of the 24/7 news cycle, Baseline Tennis provides informative, engaging and intelligent content on the past, present and future of the game, focusing on the stories that matter.
Our videos combine 3D imagery, motion graphics, archive footage, graphical illustrations and sound, to create rich and vivid storytelling, bringing the viewer immersive profiles of players, tournaments, key moments from history, the skills of the game and major discussion points.
It's tennis. But viewed differently.
