Background of the Study
School sports refer to athletic programs that take place within the school setting,
primarily involving interschool competition at the middle/senior high school and high school
levels. These programs allow student athletes to participate in various sports and are often
secondary students from both public and private schools and serves as the culmination of sports
activities in the Philippine school system. These activities start with local school intramurals and
The involvement of senior high school student athletes in sports may affect their
academic achievement due to the time constraints they face in managing their sport training
schedules and academic requirements. While sports participation can motivate student athletes to
strive harder, raise their scholastic ambitions, and maintain school attendance, several studies
have shown that it has both positive and negative influences on academic performance. On the
positive side, sports participation can improve time management skills as student athletes are
required to balance their academic and athletic commitments. These skills can be transferred to
other aspects of their lives, enhancing their academic motivation. Student athletes are often
highly motivated to succeed in their sports, and this motivation can translate into their academic
work as well. However, there are also negative influences associated with sports participation,
such as the challenge of balancing academic and athletic commitments, which may lead to stress
and anxiety. This can impact academic performance, especially if students are unable to
effectively manage their time. Additionally, the pressure to perform well in both sports and
Furthermore, sports and physical activity contribute to the development of mental and
physical alertness among students, as highlighted by Mortecalbo, Ignacio, et al. (2017). Mentally
and physically alert student athletes tend to perform better academically. Participating in sports
also allows student athletes to learn valuable life skills such as cooperation, leadership, and time
management, which they can apply to their sport participation. This involvement in sports also
helps develop a positive attitude towards self-improvement, discipline, goal-setting, and better
physical and mental health. Improved mental and physical well-being through sports
participation can positively impact academic performance. unable to attend classes or complete
Considering the complex and varied influences of sports participation on the academic
performance of student athletes, it is crucial to conduct research on the specific factors that
contribute to these relationships. The research study aims to examine the effects of sports

Impact of Sports Participation on Academic Achievement
Sports participation among students has been a topic of interest in educational research,
particularly in understanding its impact on academic achievement. This literature review aims to
explore previous studies and research conducted between 2013 and 2023 that have examined the
relationship between sports involvement and academic performance. It investigates the various
ways in which sports participation can influence student athletes' academic achievement,

Student athletes often face unique challenges when it comes to balancing their time and
responsibilities between sports and academics. The demands of rigorous training schedules,
competitions, and travel can place significant constraints on their available time for studying and
completing academic requirements. This literature review aims to explore the impact of
balancing sports and academics on student athletes' academic performance and the role of
athletes encounter is the limited time available for academic pursuits due to their sports
commitments. Numerous studies have indicated that time constraints resulting from
sports participation can have a detrimental effect on academic performance (Valois et al.,
2015; Brown et al., 2017). These time limitations may lead to increased stress, fatigue,
and difficulty in managing coursework, resulting in lower grades and reduced academic
achievement (Wassenaar et al., 2018; Eys et al., 2020). The study by Gerber et al. (2019)
found a negative association between training hours and academic achievement among
adolescent athletes.
The pressure to excel in both sports and academics can contribute to elevated
stress levels among student athletes, further impacting their academic performance. The
study by Trottier et al. (2017) highlighted that high levels of stress experienced by
student athletes were associated with increased anxiety, reduced motivation, and poorer
correlation between stress levels and academic achievement among collegiate athletes.

Some coaches may prioritize athletic success over academic achievements, creating
additional pressure on student athletes to excel in sports at the expense of their studies
(Spray et al., 2019). This imbalance may contribute to a lack of support and resources for
academic success.
Educators' Support and Guidance
The support and guidance provided by educators are vital in helping student
communication and collaboration between coaches and educators to ensure the holistic
scheduling options can alleviate the challenges faced by student athletes in balancing
The role of coaches and educators in the lives of student athletes extends beyond the
athletic realm. Coaches and educators have the potential to significantly influence student
athletes' academic performance through their priorities, expectations, support, and guidance. This
literature review aims to explore the impact of coaches and educators on student athletes'
academic outcomes and shed light on the various factors that shape this relationship.
Coaches play a pivotal role in the lives of student athletes, and their priorities and
expectations can greatly influence academic performance. Research suggests that some
imbalance that hampers students' academic pursuits (Fletcher, 2017; Fahlberg &
Tenenbaum, 2013). This emphasis on sports performance can lead to added pressure on
success as secondary may not provide adequate support or encouragement for academic
Despite the challenges, some coaches recognize the importance of academics and
actively contribute to the academic success of their student athletes. They provide
guidance, establish routines, and promote effective time management strategies (Liang &
McGregor, 2019). Coaches who prioritize academics create an environment that fosters
athletes' educational pursuits (Potrac et al., 2019). These coaches recognize the
significance of balancing sports and academics and provide the necessary resources and
support systems for student athletes to thrive academically (Smoll et al., 2014).
between educators and coaches are essential for facilitating the holistic development of
student athletes (Wuerth et al., 2017). Educators who actively engage with student
athletes and provide tailored academic support contribute to their academic success (Adie
et al., 2017). They understand the unique challenges faced by student athletes and provide
flexibility in assignments, exam schedules, and class attendance policies (Hancock &
Adler, 2013). Additionally, educators who establish open lines of communication with
coaches can ensure that academic and athletic demands are appropriately balanced for
academic success. Coaches and educators who work together to create an environment
that values both athletic and academic achievements can significantly impact student
athletes' outcomes (Gleeson et al., 2020). Open lines of communication enable coaches
and educators to monitor student athletes' progress, address challenges, and provide
necessary support (Ntoumanis et al., 2013). Collaborative efforts can lead to the
implementation of academic support programs, such as tutoring, study halls, and flexible
Coaches and educators play a critical role in influencing the academic performance of
student athletes. This literature review aims to explore the impact of coaches' priorities and
expectations, as well as the support and guidance provided by educators, on student athletes'
academic outcomes. Additionally, this review will discuss educational interventions and best
their priorities and expectations. Research suggests that coaches who prioritize both
athletic and academic success contribute positively to student athletes' academic
outcomes (Eisenmann, 2014; Clark et al., 2019). When coaches emphasize the
importance of academics, student athletes are more likely to allocate appropriate time and
effort to their studies (Guedes et al., 2017). Conversely, coaches who prioritize solely on-
(Sagar et al., 2015). It is crucial for coaches to recognize the long-term benefits of
academic achievement and foster a supportive environment that values both athletic and
academic goals.
Educators, including teachers, academic advisors, and tutors, play a crucial role in
supporting student athletes' academic success. Effective support and guidance from
educators can positively influence student athletes' academic outcomes (Yamazaki et al.,
2013). Educators who provide tailored academic support, such as study skills training,
time management techniques, and goal-setting strategies, can help student athletes
balance their athletic and academic commitments (Griffith et al., 2016; Stover et al.,
communication between educators and student athletes have been shown to enhance
academic performance and overall well-being (Leicht et al., 2014; Suppiah et al., 2017).
interventions and best practices have been implemented. These interventions focus on
enhancing time management skills, setting realistic goals, and providing academic
support tailored to the unique needs of student athletes. For instance, customized
academic plans that consider athletes' training and competition schedules can help them
balance their academic workload effectively (Zwolski et al., 2017). Academic mentoring
programs, where student athletes receive guidance and support from experienced
educators or older student athletes, have also proven beneficial (Leicht et al., 2016; Kim
et al., 2019). Furthermore, the implementation of study halls, tutoring services, and
academic workshops specific to the needs of student athletes can contribute to their

The role of coaches and educators in shaping student athletes' academic performance is
multi-faceted. While some coaches may prioritize athletic success over academics, others
recognize the importance of balancing sports and academics and actively support student
athletes' educational pursuits. Educators play a vital role in providing academic support and
guidance to student athletes. Collaborative efforts between coaches and educators can create an
environment that values both athletic and academic achievements, fostering student athletes'
overall success.
Coaches and educators play crucial roles in shaping student athletes' academic
performance. When coaches prioritize academics and educators provide tailored support and
guidance, student athletes are more likely to achieve success both on and off the field.
Educational interventions and best practices, such as time management techniques, goal-setting
strategies, academic mentoring, and customized academic plans, further enhance student athletes'
academic outcomes. It is essential for coaches and educators to collaborate and create an
environment that fosters the balance between sports and academics, allowing student athletes to
