Dax spent this past year getting in to debate, specifically Lincoln / Douglas debate. Kathi and I are very proud of Dax. In just his first year of debate, he qualified to NCFCA Region 3 Invitational Tournament, which is the qualifying tournament for Nationals. Although he didn’t make it past the preliminary rounds, he faced some tough competitors and learned a great deal.
Dax definitely caught the fever for debate and I expect we’ll be spending a lot more time at various tournaments around the state and region this coming year.
Dax and Chris Jeub, one of his coaches from WordsWorth Speech and Debate Club. Chris is also with Training Minds Ministry, a ministry that helps teach young people about logic, debate, speech, and thinking.
Are you sure you want to arm a teenager with the ability to argue more so than the innate tendency that rears its head during these years?
Congrats to Dax.
good point, Steven
Being a judge, though, has allowed me to see the things he’ll come up with and how to deflect them
