Micah's Private Coaching

My Qualifications:

Armed with over a decade of speaking experience, Micah has competed in five debate styles, across three separate leagues on both a national and international stage. 

• Micah holds multiple 1st place national titles such as: Parliamentary Debate National Champion, Lincoln Douglas Debate National Champion, Lincoln Douglas Speaker National Champion, and Apologetics National Champion.
• As a sophomore, Micah and his partner won Parliamentary Debate at nationals and later became the only team in Stoa history to win and then return to Parliamentary finals at nationals once more.
• He set the Stoa record for the most Lincoln Douglas points ever earned in a single season.
• Micah also holds the record for being the only competitor in Stoa history to appear in Apologetics finals at nationals as many as three times.
• Out of the eight speeches Micah competed with in Stoa, seven finished in the top eight on Speechranks at least once.

Whether coaching the novice or the hyper-competitive champion, Micah has the same objective in mind: supplying you with the persuasion, depth, and clarity necessary to achieve your personal goals. 

What I offer:

• Variety of expertise 

I am not limited to one category of coaching. Whether you seek improvement in Parliamentary, Lincoln Douglas, platforms, or limited preps, I’ll be at your service.

• Unparalleled experience

I have competed in speech and debate since I was six years old. After thousands of hours spent perfecting the craft, I am well-equipped to guide you through any philosophical, evidential, strategical, or even the psychological aspect of debate. 

• Your time well spent

As a competitor, I developed a pet peeve: coaches that filled time with empty content, went down irrelevant rabbit trails, and focused on the hypothetical rather than the practical. Strategy that you will actually utilize in your next round—that’s what we’ll spend our time on.
