Easy Entry to the World of Speech and Debate (VIDEO 1)
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.
Easy Entry to the World of Speech and Debate (VIDEO 2)
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.
Easy Entry to the World of Speech and Debate (BONUS)
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?”
Easy Entry to the World of Speech and Debate (VIDEO 3)
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.
Easy Entry to the World of Speech and Debate (VIDEO 4)
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.

Keys to Speech & Debate Success (VIDEO 1)
This video covers the first-and-foremost key to speech and debate success: the “foundational” key. As the name suggests, this lays the foundation for a successful speech and debate competitive season.
Keys to Speech & Debate Success (VIDEO 2)
The second Key to speech and debate success is the “practical” key — two extremely useful methodologies that have helped my students rise to the top of the room in competitions, even national championships.
Keys to Speech & Debate Success (VIDEO 3)
Moving from “structure” to “strategy,” Mr. Jeub explains the pedagogical science behind modeling. When speakers and debaters imitate the champs, they become champions themselves.
Keys to Speech & Debate Success (VIDEO 4)
You have the foundation laid, the practical structure set, and the strategies of champions roaring in your mind…you’re on your way to speech and debate success!

Cross-examination
This video is from Coach Vaughan doing a remote lesson on Cross-Examination for a camp in Colorado.

Flowing Policy Debate
