Whereas the House of Representatives recognizes September 8 through 14, 2025, 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 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
(3) 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.
