shlee 18 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 I voted two. We have a coach and an assistant coach. Our assistant coach mostly watches practice rounds at work nights, makes sure the computer lab is open, helps with our home tournament and drives us to tournaments sometimes.

RedandGreen07 103 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 I think that zero should be an option considering how many people coach themselves or simply have a "sponsor" that takes them to tournaments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hckymdgt 49976 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 where's the ZERO choice??? In a different sense, I would consider all the debaters on my team, and many whom I know outside of my squad, to be coaches of a sort. We run our practice rounds and help each other prep and learn, and help explain stuff to each other. That's what being a team means. More than any paid coach who just tries to speak from experience, those of us who actually debate together teach each other together as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAStevens 213 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 we have a few but none of them know anything about status quo policy debate (they do PFD, LD, and congress), so for general purposes zero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Girl 168 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Coach for policy debate? or just events period? We have like 7 coaches period, but no policy coaches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGreatInstigator 1094 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 We've got one very committed coach for the whole team and one for interpretation events. Neither of them know policy at all, so our team is self-coached. I think writing our own files without help is good for us as a team; each of us has an area of expertise and we pull each other along. Honestly, since we lost our one policy coach last year when he resigned to run for office, we've become a better prepared, more confident team. I loved the guy, but being self-coached has made a sizable improvement in our squad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
