Porter, Julie A.

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts in Education, Defiance College, Education.
This study was conducted with 17 women basketball players of a private, Midwest, NCAA Division III (National Collegiate Athletic Association) college. The purpose of this project was to determine if self-perception of competitiveness among collegiate female basketball players changed after the implementation of competitive drills during practice. The researcher used two instruments for data analysis for this project which were the Sports Orientation Questionnaire and the Sports Orientation Written Prompts. These two instruments were utilized as assessment tools and were administered before and after the intervention period. The intervention period consisted of three weeks of competitive drills conducted daily during basketball practices. The findings from this project indicated a slight increase in the self-perception towards being competitive among the female collegiate basketball players that participated in this research project.
