The study included 396 athletes of both sexes, aged between 13 and 18 years. 1 In data collection, two instruments were applied: Perceived Influences in Sport and Study Scale (EIPE); and Identification form for athletes in sports modalities. In the statistical analysis, descriptive (simple and percentage frequency) and inferential (Spearman correlation, chi-square) tests were used. The results showed positive levels of influence of personal engagement and support from social agents in sport and in the study. In turn, there were slightly higher levels of positive influence for the sport, especially in relation to personal and coach influences. Family members had slightly higher levels of positive influences for the study compared to other social actors, while teammates had lower levels of positive influences and higher levels of indifferent (neutral) influence on the study.
