    PROCLAMATION 9113--APR. 30, 2014

    Proclamation 9113 of April 30, 2014

    National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2014

    By the President of the United States of America

    A Proclamation

    Sports keep children healthy, teach them to work as part of a team, and
    help them develop the discipline to achieve their goals. During National
    Physical Fitness and Sports Month, we encourage America's sons and
    daughters to get active and challenge everyone to join the movement for
    a happier, fitter Nation.
    For 4 years, First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative has
    worked with community and faith leaders, educators, health care
    professionals, and businesses to give our children a healthy start and
    empower schools to build active environments. My Administration launched
    the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, replacing the old Physical
    Fitness Test to put a stronger emphasis on students' health. We also
    created the new Presidential Active Lifestyle Award, which encourages
    all Americans to commit to eating right and getting regular exercise.
    Because everyone should have the chance to get active, the President's
    Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition is expanding
    I Can Do It, You Can Do It!--a program that creates more opportuni-
    ties for Americans with disabilities to participate in fitness and
    sports.
    For more information or to learn how you can get involved, visit
    www.LetsMove.gov and www.Fitness.gov.
    By leading more active lifestyles, we can invest in our futures and
    encourage our children to do the same. This month, let us champion
    fitness to our family, friends, and colleagues. Let us give young people

    the chance to find a sport or physical activity they love, boost their
    energy and confidence, and reach their fullest potential.
    NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of
    America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
    the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2014 as National
    Physical Fitness and Sports Month. I call upon the people of the United
    States to make daily physical activity, sports participation, and good
    nutrition a priority in their lives.
    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of
    April, in the year of our Lord two thousand fourteen, and of the
    Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
    eighth.
    BARACK OBAMA
