Forensics is the name of the academic sport that high schools and colleges use for Public Speaking Competition. Would you believe me if I told you…competing in Public Speaking Competition is more anxiety-inducing than any sport? Competitors are at the mercy of their judges, and every critique is subjective. However, this provides a very important life skill: Do not concern yourself with your judges. Work hard on researching your content, sharpening your articulation, and mastering speech dynamics. *These same tenets apply to professional athletes who are seeking television work.* #linkedinsports #professionalcommunication #careerdevelopment

Dr. Yardan Shabazz congrats and thanks for continuing to pour into us. Having done both, competed in sports and public speaking, the nerves/anxiety are a real thing, and learning how to control them is key.
