Abstract

Student-athletes face the dual challenge of balancing rigorous athletic commitments with academic responsibilities, requiring effective physical well-being and time management to support success in both domains. This study examined the physical well-being, time management practices, and academic achievement of student-athletes in relation to their first-quarter academic grades. The study includes 100 student-athletes selected from schools within the Oroquieta City Division as the respondents of the study. Researcher-made questionnaires were employed as the primary datagathering tool. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was applied as statistical tools of the study. The respondents exhibited very good physical well-being and time management skills alongside moderate academic achievement, with findings indicating that neither physical wellbeing nor time management dimensions had a statistically significant relationship with the academic performance of student-athletes. Studentathletes show positive well-being, time management, and satisfactory academic performance, but these factors alone do not directly predict academic achievement, highlighting the role of other supportive and motivational influences. Schools should implement integrated well-being, time management, and academic support programs while encouraging future research to examine indirect factors influencing student-athletes’ academic achievement.
