A quick note: being extrinsically motivated isn’t always bad. It can be useful if it pushes you toward meaningful goals (like improving for your team, pushing towards a rating/ranking ). But in general, if you rely too much on external stuff like social status, peer approval, or judgment, it can lead to more anxiety and less actual enjoyment. Use extrinsic motivation in a complementary way, not as your foundation. Play tennis for your own enjoyment, mastery, and long-term improvement. I didn't get a chance to film the clarification, so I'm writing it here.
