                               RESOLUTION


 
    Supporting the recognition of September 14 through 20, 2026, as 
           ``Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Week''.

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 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) supports the recognition of ``Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators' Week'';
            (2) commends interscholastic athletic administrators for 
        their commitment and their leadership of student athletes at 
        the secondary school level;
            (3) recognizes the critical role school athletic programs 
        play in student leadership development; and
            (4) commends the National Interscholastic Athletic 
        Administrators Association as the leading organization that 
        prepares individuals who lead secondary school athletics 
        throughout the United States, providing continuous learning, 
        compassion, and preparation within the profession.
