Thaddeus Hayes is a nationally accomplished Team Policy debater and dedicated coach with a heart for building both skill and character in his students. He competed in Team Policy for six years, qualifying to NITOC four times and finishing his senior year ranked first in the nation in both Team Policy and Team Policy speaker points.

Since graduating, Thaddeus has coached students through one-on-one sessions and debate camps, focusing especially on first affirmative and first negative strategies. With experience in every speaker position, he brings a flexible, well-rounded perspective to his coaching. He now competes at the collegiate level in Mock Trial, where he will serve as a varsity Co-Captain in the upcoming season.

Driven by a love for God and a passion for truth, Thaddeus prioritizes growth in wisdom and character above winning—believing that excellence in speech should reflect a heart of integrity and humility.
