|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The State of Texas is home to some of the finest high | ||
| school coaches in the country, who are committed to helping young | ||
| Texans reach their full potential in their athletic endeavors and | ||
| build a strong foundation for future success; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Coaches exert a positive influence on the | ||
| development of young people and serve as role models during | ||
| students' formative years; in the course of their duties, these | ||
| educators teach fundamental life lessons and instill important | ||
| values such as discipline, integrity, respect, teamwork, and good | ||
| sportsmanship in young competitors; moreover, coaches help | ||
| establish and maintain the vibrant culture of high school sports, | ||
| which enriches the educational experience for all students and | ||
| strengthens the school's connection to the wider community; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The individuals who make up the state's secondary | ||
| school coaching ranks are supported by the Texas High School | ||
| Coaches Association, an advocacy and leadership organization | ||
| focused on furthering education and professionalism among its | ||
| members; formally organized in 1930 as the Texas High School | ||
| Football Coaches Association, the group sponsored the first | ||
| coaching school in San Antonio three years later; it assumed its | ||
| current name in 1941 after opening its doors to coaches in all | ||
| University Interscholastic League sports; in the decades since, | ||
| THSCA has grown to more than 25,000 members, making it one of the | ||
| largest organizations of its kind in the world; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Playing an integral role in secondary education, the | ||
| high school coaches of the Lone Star State are truly deserving of | ||
| recognition for the positive guidance they provide to students and | ||
| for furthering the state's proud tradition of athletic excellence; | ||
| now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
| hereby designate November 3 as Texas High School Coaches Day and | ||
| commend all those associated with the Texas High School Coaches | ||
| Association for their dedicated efforts; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section | ||
| 391.004(d), Government Code, this designation remain in effect | ||
| until the 10th anniversary of the date this resolution is finally | ||
| passed by the legislature. | ||
