According to the data, a large number of student-athletes end their sports careers before they turn seventeen due to the difficulty of balancing the two roles, the role of the athlete and the role of the student/high school student. Adult high school athletes are faced with the decision to choose a sports or educational priority because of the lackluster and still feasible benefits that this group should enjoy if they want to maintain focus on both roles. In facilitating the reconciliation of roles, the support of parents, coaches, or sports staff, and school staff, in particular, professors, proved essential. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to portrait the experience of high school students with the support of parents, sports and school staff in reconciling sports and school responsibilities. The study involved 7 participants from 4 different sports, and thus 4 different sports clubs in Zagreb. The sports selected were basketball, water polo, volleyball, and synchronized swimming, with participants selected by appropriate sample, namely male participants in basketball and water polo, and female participants in volleyball and synchronized swimming. A semi-structured interview was conducted with them, and the results show that high-school-athletes receive the most support from their parents and coaches in their experience, while some stated that they received negative support the school staff but that they are satisfied with themselves and their success in both roles. The role of the social worker in the development of the student athletes should be as a mediator between parents, coaches and school workers.
