In the first video of this course, I share with you my humble beginnings nearly 30 years ago. I then take time to explain why I get so excited over speech and debate, and I dispel seven myths I hear often for reasons people give to resist involvement. I give an overview of the rest of the week.

In the previous video, I explained your “individual” options, but now I dig deeper into your “competitive” options. This brings you into the world of speech and debate events that are available to you throughout all leagues and organizations.

In the second video of this course, I explain two individual options you have to make: “school” and “league.” The first option is probably something you are already in, but it helps to identify as such. In the second I lay out your several league options available to you.

You’ve made it to the end of EASY ENTRY! In this video, I explain the easiest pacing you can take to best prepare for your first tournament.

How valuable is speech and debate, anyway? We’ll be returning to EASY ENTRY, but for now this bonus video interviews Tabitha Jeub. Her future’s so bright…and she credits speech and debate for it! Watch this short interview, and then ask: “How far can I go with the skills learned in speech and debate?”
