Another goal was to examine if a correlation existed among trait sports anxiety and academic motivation and learning. The final goal was to provide student–athletes with classroom strategies.

The results of this study proved test anxiety was significantly correlated with SAS-2 variables, worry, and concentration disruption; MSLQ variables Elaboration and Organization were significantly correlated along with Elaboration and Self-Regulation and Self-Regulation and Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance; and a statistical significance between GPA and Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance was found.
