Coach's Corner - Basic Refutation

Join Brittany Stanchik as she discusses basic refutation structure and strategy on the first edition of Coach's Corner! Our service for Congressional Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking includes a variety of videos, such as this one, designed to keep students engaged and informed about the world. First, we will host our own newscast videos that discuss world events in the context of application of the information to a speech. These videos will be streamed live every other week so that students and coaches may Tweet questions to the news anchor and have her answer them on-air. The non-live episodes will be ready for viewing on Thursday afternoons. Next, we will have weekly advice videos discussing how to become better at cross examination, analysis, persuasion, and more. Finally, we will have in-depth analysis of Congressional Debate Semi-Finals and Finals bills for selected major tournaments, which will be ready shortly after the legislation is released. Selected tournaments are: Yale, Crestian Tradition, Bronx, Blue Key, Glenbrooks, Harvard, Berkeley, the Tournament of Champions, NCFL Grand Nationals, and NSDA Nationals.
