This descriptive, cross-sectional study determined the level of wellness among collegiate athletes, its correlates and its impact on their academic and athletic performance. Two hundred and forty (240) student-athletes from the top four universities in UAAP (in Judo, Swimming, Taekwondo, and Track & Filed) were surveyed using a questionnaire that included a wellness assessment. Results showed that collegiate athletes have a high level of physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness. The statistical tests (using ANOVA & Pearson-r) revealed a significant association between socio-demographic factors (sex, age, type of sport), social support, and time management efficiency with their overall level of wellness and its various dimension. However, regression analyses showed that level of wellness had no significant on both academic and athletic performance.
