How to Pick the Right Competitive Event: By VP Nick

How To Pick The Right Competitive Event!

Picking the right competition can get a little tricky. Thankfully, Amar Hodzic, our Southern Region Vice President gives us the best tips to help you decide your perfect competitive event!

The first tip is to “Weigh your options.” The purpose here is to align your competition goals with the criteria for a particular competition event. So it would be an excellent idea to look into the large multitude of categories that DECA has to offer.

The second tip is to “Analyze you skills.” This can be an excellent strategy since you position yourself in the best way possible in order to maximize your talents.

The third tip is about being self-motivated during preparation for competition. You have the choice to compete in any event you want with whomever you want! The more effort that is put into your event, whether it’s testing, writing, or role-playing, the more likely you will compete at ICDC in Orlando, Florida!         

Lastly, determination will be key to the success in your competitive event. That motivation will give you a competitive edge among the other competitors who don’t want to win as much as you do. So be methodical, diligent, and fierce when focusing on your event.

That’s all for now Florida DECA, hope that you enjoyed this article!
