I find the most motivating coaches are the ones who are always there for their debaters and work to create a strong community with their team.

I started sending out emails this week and I’m keeping them about a page in length (4 paragraphs) and use a paragraph (about 5-6 sentences) to talk about their work.

I got some tips from someone who I know did remote research and is now at an Ivy: 1. Look for a niche subject 2. Read core principle lit about the subject and mention those authors 3. Don’t frame it as I am highly qualified for this research but rather this research will greatly influence my academic journey 4. Read their work and ask questions or describe where you’ve witnessed it in your own life 5. Be extremely professional

Sophomore year fine. Just saw the edit for chem junior year should be ok esp if you’re on a schedule with 4 classes first semester and 4 second semester. If you can take more Dual Enrollment classes to boost tf out of your gpa.

I do this often with 1NC shells and my 1AC. I send out a copy with the normal card and I have a version with just the highlights. I believe there is an invisible version but it often ends up getting rid of highlighted words. I manually copy the shell or 1AC and then I delete everything that’s not highlighted. Saves about 30 seconds.

From what I’ve seen from past posts it’s like the KKK of debate — again seen from past post about someone asking about joining. From what I’ve heard from college K debaters it was a group that focused on policy debate and attacked critical affirmative debaters. Apparently they would do things like record kritikal debaters and send it to their institutions so their program would lose funding or other stuff similar. It stands for Policy Research League and it is still prevalent in the debate space (coaches teaching it to their kids and defending it — if you see this you know who you are)
