THE COACH

Every academy is one teacher, taken seriously

Hassan Qaiser, founder and head coach of The Debate HQ

I coach the way great sport is coached: film review, drills, sparring, feedback that names the exact habit to fix. Students leave every session knowing precisely what improved and what comes next. — Hassan Qaiser, Founder & Head Coach
