This study examines how participation in sports affects students' academic performance in Obafemi Awolowo University between 2011 and 2014. The study used a mixed-methods approach, analyzing both qualitative information from of student involvements in sports and quantitative data from academic records and questionnaires. The results show a positive relationship between participation in sports and academic success, indicating that students who regularly engage in physical activity have better time management, increased focus, and less stress. The study also looks at how athletics can help develop leadership and teamwork abilities, both of which are advantageous in educational environments. The findings pointed out how crucial it is to involve sports into university life in order to support students' overall development. These observations can help modify university policies around student participation and support systems, advocating for a balanced approach to academic and extracurricular activities.
