SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
