Abstract	Purpose: To study the relationship between actual motor competence (AMC) and perceived motor competence (PMC) in a large sample of 6- to 12-year-old children. Method: The AMC and PMC were measured (N = 1,669, 55% boys) with the Athletic Skills Track and the Physical Self-Confidence Scale, respectively. A variable-centered approach was applied to examine the AMC-PMC association by means of correlation coefficients and Fisher's "z" tests. Cluster analyses were used to identify profiles of children from a person-centered perspective. Results: The AMC-PMC correlation strengthened with increasing age (r = 0.084 in 6- to 7-year-olds to r = 0.416 in 10- to 11-year-olds). The person-centered approach revealed two profiles with corresponding levels of AMC and PMC, and two profiles with divergent levels. Discussion: In addition to clarifying the age-related increase in the association between AMC and PMC, the profiles from the person-centered approach result in new gateways for tailoring interventions to the needs of children with different AMC-PMC profiles.
