Shraddha Dwivedi
Hello! My name is Shraddha Dwivedi, and I am a current second-year at The University of Arizona, studying Neuroscience & Cognitive Science and Molecular & Cellular Biology. I’ve been coaching ever since I ended my high school career in 2023, working with speech and debate students of all ages, commencement speakers for my university, and TEDx invitees.
During my four years of speech and debate, I competed almost exclusively in Oratory, which really allowed me to gain an intimate understanding of the event. I am truly so passionate about making those ten minutes of performance your own, a space tailored for you to best share your story and your message. More than anything, speech has taught me the value and art of connection; it’s what transforms our pieces into impact.
In my time in oratory, I was fortunate enough to be a NIETOC Finalist (3rd), NSDA Semifinalist (7th), AZ State Champion and 4x Finalist, UKTOC Semifinalist (7th), ASU Champion and Finalist, and Harvard Semifinalist (9th). None of that would have been possible without the help of 3P. Working with 3P during my junior and senior years of high school transformed my performance, appreciation for this activity, and the skills it provides us each moment outside of it. This is what I instill in my students - a passion for the art of communication and the expertise to take it beyond the walls of your rounds.
Coaching Style
Juan De La Cruz employs a surgical approach to forensic coaching, focusing on the intersection of rhetorical precision and psychological performance. His methodology involves deep-tissue script analysis followed by high-intensity delivery drills that refine every beat of a performance. Expect a coaching relationship built on radical candor, where every vocal inflection and movement is intentional. Juan prepares students not just to compete, but to command the room with unshakeable authority and strategic intellectualism.
PHILOSOPHY
Coaching Philosophy
Your interests drive me; I will listen to what you need. My philosophy centers on the student as a person first and a performer second. Competitive excellence is a byproduct of authentic self-discovery.
We will work together to find the arguments that resonate with you, the stories that move you, and the expertise to take it beyond the walls of your rounds. What will you say that the world should hear?
