{"abstract":"Engaging in physical activities is vital for every student’s educational progress; however, student -athletes face the dual challenge of managing academic responsibilities and athletic commitments, often leading to difficulties in balancing their time effectively. This study aimed to determine and understand the time management strategies of student-athletes at Tagugpo National High School. It employed a qualitative research design utilizing a phenomenological approach to explore the challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights of the student-athletes. The study was hinged on the Eisenhower Matrix Theory of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1954), which posits that student-athletes prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, enabling them to balance academic and athletic responsibilities effectively. There were eight (8) student-athletes as participants in this study, selected through purposive sampling. The research utilized semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions to gather rich data. Results revealed four major themes regarding their challenges: struggles with overcommitment, falling behind in classes, conflicting time schedules, and feeling overwhelmed. Student-athletes coped by adopting strategies such as establishing priorities, setting deadlines, managing time efficiently, balancing sports and academics, and limiting distractions. Additionally, their insights highlighted four themes: a sense of fulfillment, respect and humility, self-improvement, and setting personal goals. The study emphasized that while some student-athletes utilize effective time management strategies, others face significant difficulties due to demanding schedules and limited support systems. These findings emphasize the need for targeted programs and resources to help student-athletes develop better time management skills. Furthermore, improving time management can boost student-athletes’ academic performance, athletic success, and overall well-being, supporting their growth in both school and life.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Cathlhyn Lamban","Cathy Perez","Joan Albarando","Jimmielyn Sabate","Kristene Joy Ygot","Joel Datulio"],"date":"2025-03-05","doi":"10.70838/pemj.330102","id":4635,"issue":1,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"048785593c3c68eca1f85db9dee8ce9f5048b09fc477fa8f797b50dc7e78e5f9","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Juggling the Clock: Exploring the Time Management Strategies among Student-Athletes","volume":33}
