39 in-depth interviews with high-performance school-age athletes, parents, and teachers in Australia explore the conflicting demands of combining sport and academic study. The data was collected for a doctoral dissertation in Education and later repurposed for pedagogical training materials. The interviews likely contain detailed narratives about time management, fatigue, motivation, and psychological pressures.
