dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this synthesis was to identify sport participation as a motivational influence and driving factor behind the increased academic success in high school student-athletes. An extensive examination of literature was conducted in order to review and research the effects on academic achievement in high school students, in relation to their participation status on a school-organized sports team. Higher grade point averages (GPA), graduation rates, ACT scores, along with lower dropout rates are all prominent among student-athletes as well (Lumpkin & Favor, 2012). There are many positive benefits that come along with sport participation, yet some feel it has the potential of creating strain on the relationship with the school by diverting the student-athlete’s attention and efforts away from their academics. This synthesis will review the literature on participation in interscholastic athletics at the high school level and examine the effects participation has on academic performance.
