🎤 National Champion Best Speaker – What Debate Taught Me
Winning the title of Best Speaker at the National Championship has been a huge achievement, but it’s the skills I’ve learned through debating that truly matter. Here’s how debate has shaped my thinking and why it could be a game-changer for you too:
💡 Logical Thinking – Through argument-building, I learned how to structure thoughts logically, making complex ideas easy to digest.
🎯 Engagement – Rebuttals sharped my ability to identify weaknesses and exploit them, helping me understand and dismantle opposing views.
🧠Critical Thinking – Impacting arguments makes others care about your words, driving my points home with meaning.
🌍 General Knowledge – Framing is all about setting the scene. It’s about creating a narrative that anchors the arguments in a relatable context.
♟️ Strategic Thinking – Prioritization is key. Debating teaches to focus on what really matters, discarding the irrelevant.
⚖️ Balanced Judgement – Weighing arguments helps understand what makes one argument stronger than another, ultimately guiding decisions.
