The purpose of the current study was to explore how participation in sports is related to the development of an important psychological skill of multiple intelligence of university student-athletes. A cross-sectional survey research design was conducted to examine the relationship between sport participation and multiple intelligence using a sample of 409 students who participated in an Annual Sports organized by different Universities for 2020-202. Some results were not corresponding with the literature. However, participation in sports has a significant role in developing multiple intelligence (p < .05). Results showed gender was the significant predictor; female student-athletes were less likely to sports participation (p < .05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that sport played an important role in developing multiple intelligence among university student-athletes. Keeping into consideration the limitations of the study, further investigation is required to validate the findings. The current study attempted to provide practical information for a program called University Sport at Public Sector Universities, which assists students and connects them to develop their psychological skills and especially multiple intelligence.
