The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between passion and school and sport burnout and mediator role of athletic identity in adolescent athletes. A total of 403 Mage = 15.56; SD=1.33) adolescent athletes, including 185 girls Mage=15.65; SD=1.34) and 218 boys (Mage=15.49; SD=1.32) participated in the study. Participants completed the “Personal Information Form”, “Passion Scale”, “Athletic Identity Measurement Scale”, “Sports Burnout Inventory-Dual Career Form” and “School Burnout Inventory”. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and the significance of indirect effects was tested using the Bootstrap method. As a result of the analyses, it was revealed that the direct effects of harmonious passion (β=0.11, p < .05) and obsessive passion (β=0.17, p < .05) on the mediating variable athletic identity were significant. In addition, the direct effects of harmonious passion, obsessive passion and athletic identity on school burnout were not significant (p > .05). The analyses revealed that the direct effects of harmonious passion (β=−0.15, p < .05), obsessive passion (β=0.18, p < .05) and athletic identity (β=−0.20, p < .05) on sport burnout were significant. With the mediation test obtained, it was determined that the indirect effects of harmonious passion (β=−0.11, 95% BCA) and obsessive passion (β=−0.09, 95% BCA) on sport burnout through athletic identity were significant, while their effects on school burnout were not significant. The study revealed that the athletic identities of adolescent athletes are influenced by their passion types and affect their school and sport burnout.
