The goal setting has been seen as motivational strategy used to improve theperformance maintaining and directing attention to a specific objective to bereached and it can also be set for either a person or a group. The aim of thisstudy is was to investigate the effects of the level of difficulty groups goal inmotor learning with skillful persons. The sample consisted of 24 males with agefrom 15 to 16 years old, with experience in the used task. The used task wasthe Volleyball rotation serving reception. The volunteers were organized byrandom designation in two experimental groups with a specific goal to 10%(G10%) and to 30% (G30%), besides the initial performance. The experimentconsisted of three stages: entrance test (27 attempts), acquisition phase (810attempts) and retention test (27 attempts) a week after the acquisition phaseending. The results of the precision and consistence measurements showedsignificant differences between G10% and G30% during acquisition phase, inwhich G30% showed better performance and smaller variability than G10%.During the retention test only the precision measurement showed significanteffect, in which both groups become more accurate and G30% score washigher than G10% as well. In conclusion, although the two groups showedperformance increment the 30% on groups goal percentile influenced on asignificant way and was superior on the learning task. Moreover, the resultsconfirmed the hypothesis 2 of LOCKE and LATHAM (1985), that for quantitativeviigoals (specifics), the higher the goal, the better the performance, admittingenough capacity and commitment.
