Introduction
difficult for student athletes who must find time to complete their homework, turn in
assignments on time, study for tests, and attend necessary practices. All of these requirements
can become oppressive at times. This study focuses on the difficulties and commitments,

balancing physical health are some challenges that student athletes are experiencing.
Balancing the demands of academic and sports can potentially impact an athlete’s
grades, class attendance, concentration, and motivation. Through it, it also decreases stress,
fatigue and the pressure to perform well in both areas. Student-Athletes that can manage their

Most people are unable to manage having too many responsibilities, which is why
student athletes are forced to decide between those two. Student athletes typically choose to
prioritize their athletic responsibilities, probably because they need to keep their scholarships.
Through those decisions, their academic performance and test results are severely harmed.

Those who cannot succeed in becoming professional athlete are also bound to fall out (Gerdy,
2017).
Every day should be productive. Being a student athlete is challenging. They have
multiple goals on their minds. The conflicting demands of preparation and championship also
consume focus, games, coursework, exam dates, and sustaining high gpas (grade point
average). The findings of the said research show that learning time management for students
can help student athletes better manage their time. Using this schedule will allow them to set

The student-athletes need to learn how to keep their academic and athletic obligations
in check. They should devote innumerable hours to rehearsing their game and remaining fit,
while staying aware of the afflictions of school level coursework and standard scholarly
responsibilities. They must study in order to fulfill their academic obligations and train to
perform well in their sport. This is a troublesome test experienced by numerous undergrad
competitors in light of the double job of understudy and competitor. This study will be

Theoretical lens
One theoretical lens through which we can examine the experiences of student-athletes on
time management in their athletic and academic responsibilities is the sociological lens of
role theory. Role theory posits that individuals occupy multiple roles in society, each with its
own set of expectations and responsibilities. In the case of student-athletes, they have the dual
role of being both students and athletes, which can create unique challenges in managing
According to role theory, individuals may experience role conflict and role strain when the
expectations and demands of different roles they occupy clash or become overwhelming. In
the context of student-athletes, they often face time constraints due to the rigorous demands
of their sport and the academic workload they need to fulfill. Balancing training sessions,
Moreover, role theory emphasizes the importance of role performance and role identity. Role
performance refers to how well individuals fulfill the expectations associated with their roles,
while role identity refers to the personal and social significance individuals attach to those
roles. Student-athletes may experience pressure to excel both academically and athletically,
professors, and peers. This pressure can influence their time allocation and decision-making
Another theoretical lens that can be applied is the psychological lens of self-determination
theory. According to this theory, individuals have innate psychological needs for autonomy,
competence, and relatedness. Autonomy refers to the need to experience a sense of choice
and control in one's actions, competence refers to the need to feel effective and capable in

one's pursuits, and relatedness refers to the need to establish meaningful connections and
their motivation and engagement in managing their time effectively can be influenced by
these psychological needs. For example, student-athletes who feel a sense of autonomy in
managing their time and setting their priorities may be more motivated and engaged in
fulfilling their athletic and academic responsibilities. Conversely, if they perceive a lack of
autonomy, such as rigid training schedules or academic pressures, their motivation and well-

understanding from coaches, teammates, professors, and peers may feel a greater sense of
relatedness, which can contribute to their overall well-being and ability to manage their time
effectively.
athletic and academic responsibilities through the theoretical lenses of role theory and self-
determination theory can provide insights into the challenges they face, the pressures they
experience, and the factors that influence their motivation and well-being. These lenses can
help inform interventions and support systems aimed at enhancing the time management

This study aims to help the student-athletes manage their time equally between sports
and academics. Academic performance can have a significant impact on an athlete's overall
well-being and athletic performance. Balancing the demands of academics and sports can

Gravelle, and Dawson (2013) is reflected in the global scope; the authors found that first-year
students, who are already having a difficult time adjusting to university life in general, are
made even more stressed by the time and effort needed to meet the expectations of practices,
meetings, training, film sessions, and games for varsity athletes. The time obligations may
have a negative impact on a student athlete's academic progress by decreasing their academic
involvement. The goal of this study is to pinpoint the time management issues that first-year
varsity players have. The data gathered from in-depth interviews with 12 first-year football
approach. The findings showed that: (1) football commitments consumed so much time
during the season that it was difficult to find time for other activities such as studying,
working on assignments, eating properly, or getting enough sleep; (2) time management
emerged as the most challenging aspect of being a member of the university's football
program; and (3) football commitments consumed so much time during the season that it was
difficult to find time for other activities such as studying, working on assignments, eating
properly, or getting enough sleep. There is a significant time management difficulty at the
university due to the looser academic framework and the gaps in study time (compared to
secondary schools), but this challenge may be lessened by the highly structured football
program.

through time management skills is where this study focuses. Right now, the issue of the
review is to enable the time usage abilities among the understudies to consent rate on their
studies as well as athletic performance. The problem is that students are already distracted by
their routines, making it difficult to manage time and making it difficult for them to complete
certain tasks, particularly academic ones and sports activities. However, scientists suggested
that time is hard; what's more, various exercises in a solitary day oversee everything as per
the oversee because they resolve these issues with the help of time usage abilities. For them
to be successful in their academic goals, students need to develop their time management
skills. Therefore, this study is conducted in Iraq, where pupils' time management skills are
evaluated to determine whether or not they can effectively balance their studies and sports.
According to the study's findings, female students have better time management skills than
male students when it comes to entry-level students. Older students, on the other hand, have
better time management skills than the other groups that were taken into consideration for the
study (Truman and Hartley, 1996). The majority of previous research has been conducted in
developed nations. So, the ongoing review is different; one might say that this study is
logically unique and covers the situation of a country that isn't just immature but additionally

The national study entitled “Student-athletes' related factors and performance among
public secondary schools”, conducted by Ofrin (2022), found out that high school students
have a range of pressures related to academic, athletic, social, and financial commitments.
Data collection methods included surveys, tests, and questionnaires. The findings showed a
strong correlation between the variables influencing student athletes' status and their athletic
and academic achievement. This study aimed to evaluate significant links between the
variables influencing a student-athlete's status and their success in both academics and
academic performance of student-athletes’. He found out that athletic participation has been
in a tight spot when juxtaposed with academic performance for decades of debates and
empirical studies. Athletic participation critics would claim that it is detrimental to the
performance of the students inside the classroom or "outside the court." This would often be
opposed by sports enthusiasts claiming that this type of engagement homes the students
holistically. This paper attempted to confirm that the existence of the time management
variable can help boost the positive relationship between athletic participation and academic
occurred between athletic participation and time management; time management and
academic performance; and, athletic participation and academic performance. This study also
confirmed what is considered important and urgent by this group in terms of student-athlete
activities using the Eisenhower Matrix of the ABC Time Management Analysis. Finally, it
can be deduced from the time allocation results that the more the student-athletes stick to a
time allocation effective to them, the better the results are in all three aspects being studied.

According to Ines' article from De La Salle University in Manila titled "Stress and
Coping Strategies of College Student-Athletes" from 2021. They discovered that the demands

mechanisms to manage stress, such as exercising caution and avoiding potentially upsetting
circumstances.
