"Whether you come from schools with extensive debate programs or have achieved individual success, remember that the debate community exists because of the people that make it up. Let's uphold the community and support our fellow rural debaters."

"Over and over again we tell the students that they must change and minimize themselves to fit into an archetype for the judge...we do not become a better speaker by wearing shoulder pads, concealer, or heels to cover up who we authentically are. Forensics shouldn't be a fashion show, it should be a documentary. And you’re the star."

"In reality, crafting a good case goes far beyond what a brief says you should write, and being able to debate and analyze topics yourself may prove more valuable than anything you can get from a brief. However, creating cases that will win means having the experience, know-how, resources, and coaching that a lot of regions across the U.S. simply lack."
