Braz Mojca [1], Gorenc Mateja [2] Abstract Nowadays, the demands in sport are higher than they used to be, which is mainly due to a greater involvement of media and sponsors in the sporting events. The purpose of this paper is to present the factors that affect the athlete’s performance in sport during their studies. We conducted a survey among 112 Slovenian athletes. The research has found that an athlete’s performance in sport when leading a dual - sport and academic – career, is affected by personal factors (abilities, interests, previous academic achievements, motivation) and the characteristics of the study programme (complexity, study load, possible adjustments). Key words: performance in sport, student-athlete status, career in sports, student athlete, personality factors [1] (Mojca Braz mag.)
