PEOPLE
“One of Nathan's best coaching techniques is that he doesn't just help you, he helps you help yourself. Nathan has a treasure trove of experience that will leave you a better debater, speaker and thinker. I was hesitant to accept coaching at first, but I have never regretted it since. If you're looking to up your game, break a losing streak, or improve your skills I would highly recommend.”
Aubrey Jane Moore, American Legion National Champion“Nathan's is something that doesn't end when the year is over. Instead the skills he teaches allows for you to become a good debater that can stand the test of time. The decision to get Nathan's coaching this year was one that helped me immensely. There is nothing else that I could recommend more for rapid improvement. All you have to do is sit down and he will mold you into the debater you have always wanted to be.”
JT McNaughton, Nationals Competitor

“Ziggy is a great option to consider. Participants can gain the skills associated with debate—including research, communication, quick thinking, and the ability to weigh multiple perspectives about an issue—without the cost and time commitment debate usually entails.”
Colleen Hroncich, Cato Institute“The confidence I gained through winning Ziggy Nationals gave me the ability to debate at NCFCA Nationals, only losing in outrounds to the National Champion. Ziggy is an invaluable source of practice and I would not be the debater I am today without them.”
Diedra Hall, National Finalist
