This study aims to determine the level of technical coaching skills of sports coaches in the Davao Region, Philippines. It seeks to describe the profile of the respondents in terms of age, year level, and sex, and to assess their competencies in communication skills, decision-making skills, and sports management. A total of 52 sports coaches, purposively selected based on their recent coaching experience and professional background, participated in the study conducted within the active sports environment of Davao Region. The research employed a quantitative, descriptive-comparative design, utilizing a validated 30-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies, measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis involved calculating means and conducting inferential statistics such as T-tests and ANOVA to determine significant differences among groups. The study was anchored on the Three-Stage Model of Motor Learning theory of Fitts and Posner (1967), which emphasizes stages of cognitive, associative, and autonomous learning. For future research, it is recommended to explore other influencing factors such as psychological readiness, adaptability across sports disciplines, and the impact of mentorship, using qualitative approaches to provide deeper insights into the continuous development of coaching skills.
