A RESOLUTION COMMENDING THE TWENTY-FIVE COACHES FROM ACROSS MISSISSIPPI WHO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR THE MISSISSIPPI EXCELLENCE IN COACHING FELLOWSHIP, ALSO KNOWN AS TOMORROW'S 25.
WHEREAS, the Mississippi Excellence in Coaching Fellowship, ("Tomorrow's 25") is presented by the Mississippi Association of Coaches (MAC), the Mississippi High School Activities Association
(MHSAA) and the University of Mississippi's School of Education (UM SOE); and
WHEREAS, the Tomorrow's 25 Coaching Fellowship seeks to annually select and invest in 25 future leaders for Mississippi in the area of high school and middle school athletics; and

WHEREAS, all 25 candidates were identified by a selection committee, and represent the best the state has to offer based on their competency, character and commitment to their school and community; and
WHEREAS, the Tomorrow's 25 Coaching Fellowship seeks to assist in three areas of growth for each candidate: Coaching the Whole Athlete (Leadership, Resilience, Empathy and Responsibility); the opportunity to network with 24 of their peers who have demonstrated the capacity to be our state's future leaders in athletics; and access to current leaders in the Associations (MAC, MHSAA) and College Athletics to learn how they can grow their spheres of influence in their communities and across the state; and
WHEREAS, the ultimate goal of the Tomorrow's 25 Coaching Fellowship is for the selected candidates to have this time to deliberately work on their craft in a cohort of their peers, so that ultimately their student-athletes and overall communities benefit for years to come; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize and commend the accomplishments of the state's emerging leaders who make exemplary strides in every facet of Mississippi life, particularly those in the educational arena:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby congratulate the selected coaches for the 2023-24 Tomorrow's 25 Class and extend best wishes for continued success in the future.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to each individual selected for participation in the 2023-24 Tomorrow's 25 Class, the executive directors of the Mississippi Association of Coaches and the Mississippi High School Activities Association, and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
