Issues and deliberations concerning sports participation and academic achievement have been heard for decades. Sports enthusiasts were claiming that participation in any sports help the student-athletes to have “a sound mind and a sound body” individual. However, some people in the academe believed that sports participation hindered students’ ability to excel in their academic courses because most of their times were allotted into sports commitments such as training and competitions than studying alone. Some critics further believed that there was no possibility that the student-athletes achieve excellence in sports as well as in academics at the same time. The present study examined the relationship between sports participation and academic achievement of thirty-six (36) randomly selected collegiate athletes who participated in the National State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association Competition. They were taking up different academic courses. While in the university academic achievement was measured based on their general weighted average (GWA). Secondary data on 1st and 2nd semesters of AY 2014-2016 GWA were used in the analysis. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between sports participation and academic success of the student-athletes. Sports participation improved athletes’ perceptions on academic excellence, mental processes and becoming more logical and patient. A significant improvement regarding class attendance of the student-athletes was also noticed.
