Mental health issues have surged in Malaysia, impacting youth, particularly university students. This study explores the relationship between mental health and academic performance among Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation (FSR) students at UiTM Seremban. By assessing mental health levels, academic performance, and their interplay, this research aims to bridge existing gaps, addressing how sports students manage stress and achieve academic balance [1]. A survey was conducted to assess mental health levels, while academic performance was evaluated through quantitative analysis. A sample size of 333 students was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) table with a 20% buffer. Participants were selected using probability sampling via a simple random sampling technique to ensure representativeness.
