Quick Resources
Timothy Louie | 6/11/25
"Far too often, I’ve heard on my local circuit: 'Just make the novice flip.' I’ll admit, I’ve told some of my underclassmen to do this as well, because I want them to have the best chance for success. But this isn’t something that can be fixed overnight. This is a bad habit that spreads across the entire national circuit, and no one really sees enough fault in it to actively do something about it."
The Unspoken System of Walkover Culture in Debate
Azzy Xiang | 6/4/25
"When younger debaters realized their forfeits were inflating seniors’ records without reciprocation, they would openly refuse. Some seniors’ records would dip, revealing that their 'elite' status had been artificially propped up, and they were the ones playing Fortnite during every practice rather than discussing research with the intellectually curious, which paid off indeed. "
Social Anxiety is Solved by Speech and Debate
A.P. Jones | 5/28/25
"Access to competitive resources — which can be anything from debate briefs to socks and shoes — can help solve the acute difficulty of interpersonal speaking via public speaking. Seeing that we are involved in yet another academic event centered around adolescents, we inevitably will be exposed to a vast variety of people who come from a multitude of different circumstances and backgrounds. Speech and debate can assist in building a sense of intrapersonal pride, respect, and esteem."
