Abstract This study assessed the time management factors among student-athletes affiliated with the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA), the Southern Tagalog Regional Association of State Universities and Colleges (STRASUC), and the National Collegiate Athletic Association Philippines (NCAA-Philippines) across four universities. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed, and data were collected from 300 respondents using the adapted Time Management Behavior Scale (TMBS). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson product-moment correlations were applied. It is found that student-athletes demonstrate a moderate overall level of time management behavior (M = 3.21, SD = 0.57). Significant differences are observed by year level and athletic association affiliation, but not by sex or sport type. Perceived control of time and goal-setting behavior show the strongest positive correlations with academic grade point average (GPA) (r = .42 and .38, respectively), while mechanics of time management is most strongly associated with athletic training adherence (r = .40). The findings provide a systematic empirical foundation for the design of a differentiated peer-coaching mentoring program for Filipino collegiate student-athletes.
