The instruments of this study are the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) and Sports Achievement Motivation Test (SAMT), which were modified and translated into the Indonesian language. The data were collected using Google Forms. Correlation Pearson Product Test showed a linear correlation, which in boys (r = .807, p = .00) “very strong” and girls (r = 0.733, p = .00) “strong”. According to the regression test, this finding revealed that the coach-athlete relationship significantly predicts the level of achievement motivation (β = 0.769, p < 0.05) and contributes as much as 0,591 or 59.1%, whereas 40,9% is influenced by other variables. The result of this study reveals that gender differences influence the strength of the correlation between the coach-athlete relationship and achievement motivation.
