Whereas, each year, the House of Representatives recognizes the invaluable 
 contributions of interscholastic athletic administrators to the 
 physical, academic, and emotional development of students in the United 
 States;
Whereas interscholastic athletic programs play a critical role in forming a 
 well-rounded educational experience for students;
Whereas participation in sports is proven to improve concentration, memory, and 
 academic behavior, such as school attendance;
Whereas participation in sports results in higher levels of confidence and self-
 esteem, reducing the risk of suicidal thoughts and other mental health 
 struggles in teenagers and young adults;
Whereas research shows that participation in sports can reduce the rate of youth 
 violence and crime by providing youth with access to personal and 
 professional growth opportunities;
Whereas participation in sports plays a critical role in the development of 
 leadership skills and resiliency in students;
Whereas interscholastic athletic administrators--

    (1) work tirelessly every day to ensure the safety and well-being of 
all student athletes;

    (2) often work long and unpredictable hours to ensure that every 
student athlete has access to the training and assistance they need; and

    (3) tirelessly dedicate themselves to the athletic, academic, and 
personal development of their students and players, building mature and 
hardworking young men and women;

Whereas more than 8,000,000 student athletes in the United States rely on the 
 hard work of interscholastic athletic administrators for guidance, 
 coaching, and mentorship; and
Whereas the athletic programs led by interscholastic athletic administrators 
 promote values of leadership, service, hard work, and teamwork in 
 schools and communities: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) commends interscholastic athletic administrators for 
 their commitment and their leadership of student athletes at 
 the secondary school level;

    (2) recognizes the critical role school athletic programs 
 play in student leadership development; and
