"Life is too short to do just one thing at a time. Sometimes it feels like this activity [coaching a club] takes entirely too much time and effort. But it is one of the very few activities that strengthens and even creates nearly every other academic and social endeavor for the students that you want to impact the most – your own children. Speech and debate naturally touches history, civics, literature, composition, current events, philosophy, theology, interpersonal relationships, persuasion, courage, and too many debate topic areas to mention. If you pay attention and keep focused, you can use it to enlarge opportunities you never thought possible for your students." -Kim Anderson, Coaching a Club
