Abstract

The study determined the perceived performance profile of top basketball athletes of the National Center for Teacher Education in terms of their physical skills (speed, stamina, strength and suppleness) and technical/ tactical skills in the aforementioned sporting activity. Twenty five purposively sampled participants responded to the survey questions generated through descriptive survey and interview. Results show that most athletes highly and strongly perceived and self-rated their physical skills, technical skills, and tactical skills in the basketball sporting activity. Low ratings provided by the sample athletes served as inputs to developing training designs and frameworks to enhance and develop their skills for better performance.
