Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesiapan mental atlet sepaktakraw melalui program coaching clinic berbasis mental training. Dalam olahraga prestasi, kemampuan mental menjadi faktor penting yang memengaruhi performa atlet, terutama dalam menghadapi tekanan pertandingan, menjaga fokus, membangun motivasi, serta meningkatkan kepercayaan diri. Program pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk pelatihan internasional yang melibatkan atlet muda, pelatih, dan praktisi olahraga. Metode kegiatan meliputi pemberian materi, simulasi mental training, diskusi interaktif, relaksasi, visualisasi, serta praktik pengendalian emosi saat pertandingan. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan angket respon peserta sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman atlet mengenai pentingnya kesiapan mental, peningkatan rasa percaya diri, kemampuan mengontrol kecemasan, serta motivasi bertanding yang lebih baik. Selain itu, pelatih memperoleh wawasan baru mengenai strategi pendampingan psikologis atlet dalam latihan dan kompetisi. Program ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap pengembangan kualitas atlet sepaktakraw secara holistik, tidak hanya pada aspek teknik dan fisik, tetapi juga mental dan psikologis. Dengan demikian, coaching clinic mental training dapat menjadi salah satu model pembinaan olahraga prestasi yang efektif dan berkelanjutan.
