"As a junior from public school Lynbrook, which doesn't receive much admin support from its school, Break Debate was a lifesaver because it allowed me to receive prep, drill with brilliant coaches, and do practice rounds with other team members. This year, I've already qualified to the Tournament of Champions, won Glenbrooks and finaled Meadows."

"As the sole national debater at my school, Break Debate is truly to credit for all of my success. I've been given a real team with incredible coaches and teammates who have cohered an altruistic, admirable environment that's unlike any other. Everyones' intelligence and support is unmatched, and I couldn't have asked for anything more."
