Adolescence is a vital developmental stage marked by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes, often accompanied by academic and social challenges. This study explores the impact of regular sports training on self-esteem, stress management, and academic performance in adolescents. Regular engagement in sports not only enhances physical health but also fosters psychological resilience, improves self-perception, and provides effective outlets for managing stress. Through structured physical activity, adolescents develop discipline, teamwork, and goal-setting skills, which can positively influence their academic motivation and performance. The research aims to analyze the correlation between consistent sports participation and improvements in emotional well-being and scholastic achievement. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the study provides evidence-based insights into how sports training contributes to adolescent development. The findings underscore the need for integrating sports programs into school curricula and youth development initiatives, highlighting sports as a key strategy for fostering balanced, confident, and high-performing young individuals.
