Academic performance and time management of the student Athletes in LNHS ext- DB

INTRODUCTION:

In the dynamic environment of high school education, student athletes find themselves

at the intersection of two demanding worlds the academics and sports. This research delves

into the intricate relationship between academic performance and time management among

student athletes at LNHS-Ext DB

According to (G Gayston Gayles, Joy L 2005 journal of college student development

46(3), 317-327) there has been a growing focus in academic literature on forecasting the

academic success of college athletes. The graduation rates of college athletes, their progress

toward degree completion, and the factors influencing their academic performance have

garnered significant attention from college administrators, media, and organizations like the

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA relies on high school grades and

standardized test scores to determine a student's initial eligibility for college sports participation.

These two factors are commonly employed to anticipate how well a student will perform

academically in college.

Student athletes embody a unique blend of commitments, with their academic

responsibilities on one hand and rigorous sports training and competition schedules on the

other. The harmonious management of these dual roles is essential not only for their overall

well-being but also for their long-term prospects in both academics and sports.
 Within the LNHS EXT.DB community, where a rich tapestry of sports and athletic

programs exists, it becomes imperative to explore how student athletes navigate these parallel

tracks.

This study aspires to offer comprehensive insights into the challenges and triumphs

experienced by student athletes at LNHS EXT.DB. Our goal is to provide valuable knowledge

that can inform educators, coaches, and administrators about the unique demands faced by

student athletes and guide the development of supportive measures tailored to this specific

cohort. Ultimately, the research aims to enhance the overall experience and performance of

student athletes, not only within the LNHS EXT.DB community but also as a reference for high

schools nationwide.

At LNHS EXT.DB, there is a critical need to address the effective management of

time and academic performance among student athletes. This practical research endeavor

centers on the intricate balance that student athletes must strike, aiming to excel in both their

sports and academics. This study seeks to delve into the challenges they encounter in

effectively managing their time, which often has a direct impact on their academic

achievements.

Student athletes navigate a unique set of pressures, as they are required to meet

rigorous academic demands while simultaneously dedicating substantial time to their athletic

pursuits. This research will explore the specific hurdles that hinder their ability to manage time

efficiently and evaluate how these challenges influence their academic performance.
 Furthermore, we will investigate the strategies and support systems available within

LNHS EXT.DB to assist student athletes in achieving a harmonious equilibrium between their

academic and athletic commitments. By identifying effective time management strategies and

assessing the effectiveness of available resources, this research endeavors to provide valuable

insights that can enhance the overall academic performance and well-being of student athletes

at LNHS EXT.DB.

Ultimately, grasping the intricate dynamics between academic performance and time

management for student athletes is of paramount importance, benefiting not only the individuals

themselves but also contributing to a broader discussion on creating an environment conducive

to their academic and athletic success. Through this practical research, we aim to illuminate the

challenges, opportunities, and optimal approaches that can foster success for these dedicated

individuals within the LNHS EXT.DB community.
