 This research examined the barriers faced by student athletes with and without disabilities when pursuing a dual career combining studies and sport. Student athletes with disabilities reported experiencing more barriers than those without disabilities, including difficulty balancing study and training time due to having to take care of family members, as well as being unable to attend university because it was too far away from their homes or training sites. Additionally, female student athletes reported higher levels of barriers than male student athletes, while those at a lower competitive level also reported more barriers than those at a higher level. These findings suggest that universities should provide support services such as transportation and childcare to help student athletes with disabilities achieve a better balance between their academic and athletic commitments.
