Task and Ego goal orientation is two, among many other perspectives, that explains the way athletes think about achievement. It also explains why athletics take certain actions and make certain decisions toward their goal. The individuals goal perspective state is a result of situational factors and individual differences.[1]
Task involved athletes’ main purpose is to gain knowledge, skills, and prove self-worth. They work extremely hard to get better by trying different training techniques, beating personal records, and learning from their mistakes. Task involved athletes find enjoyment the process rather than the outcome. These performers want to be challenged so they can prove self-worth. When task involvement is manifested, it is assumed that the athlete will think, act, and feel in a motivated manner.[2] In contrast, players high in ego orientation feel successful only when they do better than others; they are preoccupied with winning and showing that they are the best.[3] These players does not like being pushed or making mistakes, so they will often pick task that is easier.
