ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to address the complex relationship between learning process and college sports in high level athletes. The difficulty of reconciling these two types of activities, requires an analysis of the conditions under which these students pursue their university education and demanding aid for the alternation of the two processes without having to give up any of them. Following a descriptive method and through the application of a questionnaire to test a sample of 81 senior student-athletes, collected information relating to four key factors: the orientation pre-university students received high-level athletes, the process choice of college, adjusting to college and received support and resources to harmonize university studies and sports. The results indicate that there are many variables that determine the parallel development of these two activities (time, motivation, basic skills, training requirements, etc.). The study is the need to personalize the teaching and learning processes and to implement preventive measures guiding that respond to the specific educational needs of these students.
