Athlete-students faced with both athletic and academic demands may identify more strongly with their academic or athletic roles, depending on a number of influential factors. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of self-efficacy, gender and age of athletes- students on their academic achievement. In the research, the self-efficacy scale adapted to Turkish by Öcal (2022) and the academic achievement averages of the athletes-students were used as data collection tools. The data were collected from a total of 290 university licensed athletes-students studying at the university's faculty of sports sciences. Logistic regression analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. The results showed that high self-efficacy levels of athlete students are an important predictor of their academic achievement. As the age of the athletes increases, their academic success rates also increase; It was found that female athlete students were more likely to fail than male students. Another result is that the more the athletes' perceptions of confidence in their abilities increase, the more likely they are to be academically successful. These results revealed that age, gender, and confidence in their abilities are the determinants of academic success, and athlete self-efficacy is an important factor in the academic success of students during their education. It can be said that the results of the research are an important factor in guiding future research and educational prevention and intervention efforts for athletes. Hem atletik hem de akademik talepleriyle karşı karşıya kalan sporcu-öğrenciler, bir dizi etkili faktöre bağlı olarak akademik veya atletik rolleriyle daha güçlü bir şekilde özdeşleşebilirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sporcu-öğrencilerin öz-yeterlik, cinsiyet ve yaşlarının akademik başarılarına etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Öcal (2022) Türkçeye uyarladığı özyeterlik ölçeği ve sporcu-öğrencilerin akademik başarı ortalamaları kullanılmıştır. Veriler, üniversitenin spor bilimleri fakültesinde öğrenim gören toplam 290 üniversite lisanslı sporcu-öğrenciden toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde lojistik regresyon analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, sporcu öğrencilerin yüksek öz-yeterlik düzeylerinin akademik başarılarının önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğunu göstermiştir. Sporcuların yaşı arttıkça akademik başarı oranları da artmaktadır; Kız sporcu öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre başarısız olma olasılıklarının daha yüksek ol
