Abstract:
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 hones 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 performance among 96 student-athletes in San Isidro, Leyte. High positive correlations 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.
