In this study, 497 valid questionnaires were obtained through a survey of 600 college students in 12 universities in 6 cities, and the reliability and validity test proved that the questionnaires had a good reliability level. The results of the path analysis revealed the following findings: New media communication significantly and positively influenced the self-construction of sports life (beta=0.365, p<0.001). Campus sports culture had a significant positive impact on the self-construction of sports life (beta=0.436, p<0.001). Peer influence also had a significant positive impact on the self-construction of sports life (beta=0.307, p<0.001). Sports events significantly and positively influenced the self-construction of sports life (beta=0.282, p<0.001). The model fit in dices were as follows: 1) CMIN/DF=1.478, which is less than 3, indicating a good fit; 2) The values for GFI (Goodness of Fit Index) = 0.917, NFI (Normed Fit Index) = 0.920, TLI (Tucker-Lew is Index) = 0.954, and CFI (Comparative Fit Index) = 0.960 were all greater than at the 0.9, indicating a satisfactory fit; and 3) The RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation) value was 0.041, which is less than 0.05, indicating a good fit of the model. Subsequently, four suggestions are made for college students to enhance their self-construction of sports life, aiming to assist them in effectively increasing their participation in sports activities and developing a well-planned sports life style.
