Because see, if you've never done some sparring before, you might think that you're made of glass and you're really scared to get hit.

But then you go to a boxing club and you put on the pads and then you give a punch and you take a punch and you're like, oh, I didn't break.

And then you actually get enjoyment out of it.

And then you get to a point where you just want to fight with everyone.

There's something similar with debating because...

Because at first you might be scared and you might be thinking, oh, it's going to turn into an argument.

Everyone's going to look at me.

It's going to be very awkward.

But then you learn some of these techniques and you try applying it and then you win debates and you're like, oh, wow.

And then you just want to debate with everyone.

Not at all.

I'm actually naturally very introverted and quite shy.

Like if you told me 10 years ago I'd be on podcasts teaching people how to debate, it doesn't seem like something that would ever have happened.

But I'll tell you a story about a debate which has stuck with me.

So before I was a teacher, I worked in retail and customer services, and I had this one colleague

And whenever he and I were on a shift together, a shift that was eight hours long, it would feel like it was barely 30 minutes.

And we would have not debates, not arguments, but discussions.

We would talk about anything.

We would talk about life, about things in the news, about laws, about things that we read.

It could be anything.
