Abstract
During this Covid-19 pandemic, the Petrokimia Gresik Volleyball Club’s female athletes have to do training from home (TFH). Unfortunately, this prolonged TFH has caused the athletes experiencing a decrease in motivation and lose of training goals. This community service aimed to increase the athletes’ achievement motivation through a Virtual Goal-Setting Training (VGST). The VGST was designed and carried out in 4 sessions: introduction to goal-setting, goal identification, goal self-efficacy, goal commitment. The VGST’s effectiveness was tested using a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design, and measured by the Achievement Motivation Scale for Specialists of the Sport for All (AMSSSA) which consists of 30 items, as well as by observation and interviews. The results of this community service activity showed a significant increase in achievement motivation between pretest and posttest results (p<0.01). In conclusion, a structured design of VGST can be an alternative to increase achievement motivation for athletes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
