Most debaters are taught what to argue, not how to argue. Most debaters can make arguments, but can’t convince a judge. What I’ve learned throughout my career as a debater is that winning in debate isn’t just about being right and structuring a disadvantage properly; it’s about making the judge care enough to want to vote for you. It’s about leveraging the talents God gave you to speak truth on stage at the podium or from a table in a broom closet. I want to help you get there. My name is Malachi Smith, and I’m the 2024-2025 Team Policy Speaker Champion and the 2025-2026 Team Policy Debate Champion. In my first year of debate in Lincoln-Douglas, I knocked multiple high-ranking debaters out of nationals to finish 12th overall as a thirteen-year-old. In the next three years as a Team Policy debater, my partner and I checked at every tournament, had a winning record at every tournament, and placed in the top ten at all but one tournament we attended. I finished my career with first-place wins in Mars Hill, Original Oratory, Extemporaneous, and Parliamentary debate under my belt. I want to help you do the same or better. For three years, my partner and I fought for our goal to win Nationals, and we did. But we didn’t do it alone. So many speakers and debaters have the drive and ability to win; they just need someone to help them get there. That’s where I come in. If you know what your goals are as a team or individually, and even if you’re trying to figure out what those might be, give me a call. You already have a voice. My job is to help you turn it into something judges can’t ignore.
