  • This research presents the results of a systematic review that analyses the relationship between entrepreneurial culture, social-emotional skills and self-esteem in students enrolled in sports programmes in Colombia, with the aim of identifying the factors that influence their positive attitude towards entrepreneurial capacity. In the literature review, 100 articles and academic research papers were selected between 2019 and 2025, prioritised from 42,958 results from different resources such as reference databases, multidisciplinary databases, academic repositories and academic journals. The databases with the highest number of results were Scopus, Web of Science, Wiley, Springer Nature, Science Direct, Ebsco Host, among others such as (COnnecting REpositories), Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar. The results showed an interest in academia to research and reflect on the relationship between entrepreneurial culture, emotional skills, and young people. However, in most studies, entrepreneurial culture is associated with variables such as emotional intelligence and social skills in university contexts, leaving the field of the relationship between these variables and the field of sports somewhat lacking in studies. Studies that explore this relationship in depth conclude that athletes develop socio-emotional skills that make them strong candidates for entrepreneurship. However, there are limitations in the implementation of mechanisms that promote an entrepreneurial culture ( ) in university contexts for young people studying sports programmes.
