Summary

This quasi-experimental study was designed to evaluate whether a structured, four-week psychological performance strategies training program could improve achievement motivation among licensed athletes. Fifty athletes were assigned to an experimental group (n=25) and a control group (n=25). The experimental group received training twice weekly for four weeks, including goal setting, self-talk, emotional control, imagery, automaticity, action orientation, attention control, and relaxation. Achievement motivation was measured at baseline and after the intervention using the Sport-Specific Achievement Motivation Scale.
