Research on student-athletes' academic performance reveals a complex interplay of factors. Interestingly, few studies have investigated the achievement of student-athletes in both academics and athletics, the two areas in which they are usually evaluated. In this study, we investigated the association between factors that may affect student athlete academic performance with their sports achievement. In this study, 166 students from 20 sport faculties universities within faculty of sports who had at least a provincial sports accomplishment were involved. The factors that were strongly connected with student-athletes' academic achievement were analyzed using a logistic regression analysis. According to this study, there is a considerable correlation between the academic achievement of student athletes, their gender and internet access. It has been found that academic achievement is strongly influenced by students' proficiency in establishing an internet connection significantly impacts their academic performance. In addition, gender makes a major contribution to the prediction of academic grades in student athletes in Indonesia. Athletes may be eligible for specialized academic programs that are intended to help them continue to improve in both their academic and athletic endeavors. As a result, Indonesian universities mandate the establishment of a mentorship center development organization to assist student-athletes. Curriculum modifications may also be implemented in response to the time allotted to students for academic and sports performance.
