I am a speech and debate coach in the CFL region of California. I have been coaching speech and debate for the last 3 years. My students primarily compete in Parli, LD, and SPAR for debate and all speech events. I myself am a 2 time sectional finalist in HI and HDA (Duo) through the Illinios High School Speech Association and competed for all for years and was my teams co-captian.
For debate: I will flow as you go so please don't spread or speed read otherwise I won't catch your arguements. I have a BA in poli sci and theater and a masters in Theater education but still explain your arguments to me like I am 10 years old trying to understand the concepts of the arugments. The more clear you are with your weighing, impacts, and clash the better I flow you.
For Speech: Due to CFL being such a difficult and high quality performance league I am very nit picking about judging. I will point out even the tiniest fumbles if you make it obvious so you can see how many times it may have happened in a round and I will also try to give feedback on what works and what doesn't.
