Going through all my old note pads. This is from a staff meeting with Coach Lopez in 2012. We met as a staff every day. I may have written down every word he said in every meeting and I’m glad I did. Tons of nuggets.

Losing culture:● Resistant● Doesn’t do what is asked● Opposes changes and opposes team● Makes excuses● Talks poorly of other teams● Blames others (often judges)

“Average” culture:● Compliant● Does what is asked--no more no less● Gives effort, but not fully 100% invested● Blames others (often judges)

Championship culture:● Committed and compelled● Holds him/herself to high standards● Holds others to high standards● Goes above and beyond what is being

asked● Goes beyond the activity to help others

4 ways to teach students

Applies to speech and applies in the classroom

● Explanation● Demonstration● Correction● Repetition

Public Address:● Limited preparation events

(Impromptu and Extemp)● Persuasive, Informative,

Entertainment

Interpretive:● OID (team event 3-5)● Duet (2 people) ● Humorous● Serious● Poetry

Extemporaneous:

1. There is no “t” in extemp

2. Extempers are not all nerds

3. Extempers are people, too

● Analysis of topic● Organization● Content● Style/Language● Delivery

Please note that only ⅕ is delivery...⅘ is the speech! If the speech makes no sense and makes no point, judge accordingly.

Humorous:

1. Many humorous students are the quirkiest

2. Tech is great...still tell a story

3. Character pops!
