Cheyenne East Speech and Debate Team Head Coach Marcus Viney goes deep about Speech Tourney snacks, our heated rivalry, and what makes Informative Speaking the bomb.
What makes a strong Informative Speech? How important is the visual aid? How can coaches help students get excited about writing and performing an Informative Speech? What TRULY is the BEST Speech and Debate Tournament coach snack?
These are just a few of the questions that Marcus and I talked about in the first official One Clap Podcast. Are we bitter rivals? Yes. Did I learn some great tips that might just be the key to taking down my nemesis? I sure hope so!
