Let's talk SPEECH! There is SO MUCH WORK that goes into each and every single performance. From selecting a piece or prompt (depending on which categories you're entering) to actually learning and perfecting it, to then FINALLY getting to perform it multiple times at a tournament. If you've never seen a speech event, please do yourself the favor this year!

Step one for a successful debate year... lock in with your partner! Who you choose as your partner is extremely important. You need someone that is willing to grow with you, someone you can communicate with in a healthy way, someone who will share the work equally and most importantly someone that makes you feel heard and understood. Do you still remember your debate partner?
