What about the Temperaments?
About Us
WWW RS 002
The idea behind Temper is rooted in a theory that’s been around for centuries: the four temperaments. Dating back to ancient Greek medicine, this theory suggests that everyone carries a mix of four basic personality types—Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Melancholic, and Choleric. Each type influences how we act and react in different situations. Over time, this concept evolved, but the essence remains the same: human behavior is shaped by a complex mix of emotions and tendencies.
At Temper, we’ve brought this ancient theory into a new context—tennis. Because tennis isn’t just a physical game, it’s a mental one. It’s a battlefield of temperaments, where everyone taps into these forces—whether they realize it or not. This is where our new temperaments come into play: The Opportunist, The Stoic, The Strategist, and The Initiator.
By bringing the temperaments into our brand, we’re acknowledging that tennis is more than just technique and fitness—it’s about how you navigate your emotions, how you handle pressure, and how your inner world shapes your performance. The temperaments give us a way to talk about the mental side of the game, the part that’s often unseen but is the true deciding factor in every match.
Each product we create at Temper reflects these temperaments—designed to help you find your balance on and off the court, no matter which temperament takes over on any given day.
