This study examines the pattern and role of organizational communication in increasing the achievement motivation of Central Java Pelatda badminton athletes. The background of this research is based on the importance of motivation as the main factor in achieving athlete achievement, which is influenced by communication between athletes, coaches, and sports organization administrators. This research aims to understand organizational communication patterns in athlete development, explore the role of communication in increasing motivation, and identify challenges and obstacles faced. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations. Where informants include PBSI Central Java administrators, Central Java Badminton Pelatda trainers, Central Java Badminton Pelatda Athletes. And the data was analyzed with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the communication patterns used included linear, interactive, and transactional models, with the coach as the key actor in delivering instructions while building a two-way dialog. Effective communication attitudes such as openness, empathy, moral support, positive atmosphere, and equality have encouraged the creation of high intrinsic motivation in athletes. However, some communication barriers are still encountered, whether physical (such as limited facilities), physiological (fatigue and injury), psychological (competition stress), or semantic (discrepancies in technical terms). Track record of achievement and realistic target setting also proved to be important drivers in maintaining sustained motivation. The conclusion of this study states that organizational communication that is carried out effectively, adaptively, and participatively is able to build a positive training climate and increase athlete motivation in achieving achievement. These findings provide important implications for administrators and coaches to continue to strengthen the communication system and strategically manage obstacles in the athlete development process.
