“Jonathan has a remarkable passion for our activity. He cares deeply about how it is governed, and about rules we use in competition. He is truly dedicated to making sure we have the best possible rules and practices in place. And, as someone who has lived and coached in the South, Northeast, and West, he has the experience necessary to be sensitive to the needs of those forensics communities. I have no doubt these skills and this background will serve him well on the Board of Directors. He has certainly earned, and will receive, my vote.” - Adam Nelson, Director of Lincoln-Douglas Debate & Policy Debate, The Harker School (San Jose, CA)
"Jonathan Peele is the right person for the NFL Board. He is inquisitive, logical, and most importantly, passionate about forensics. I have known Jonathan for over five years and worked with him several times. I have never been disapointed by his approach to coaching and his leadership in forensics. Jonathan is a fighter for what is right and never shy about sharing his opinion. He offers real solutions to real issues facing the forensics community. I unequivecally support Jonathan for his bid to the NFL Board of Directors!" - Jason Kline, Assistant Principal, Myers Park High School (Charlotte, NC)
"Jonathan Peele brings knowledge, passion and energy to forensics. I've admired his ability to forge excellent working relationships with members of the forensics community, which is exemplified by the respect and love accorded to him by debaters across the nation." - Beth Eskin, Director of Forensics, Timber Creek High School (Orlando, FL)
"Jonathan will make a great board member. I first met him when I was a brand new assistant coach and despite a friendly rivalry between our programs, Jonathan’s first concern was always for the strength and success of our entire district. He built an amazing program from scratch and has been a terrific friend and mentor in my journey in forensics. His ideas about the way the NFL should move forward are informed and positive and he will be a great asset to the board of directors." - Robert Sheard, Assistant Coach, Pinecrest High School (Southern Pines, NC)
"I was lucky enough to have Jonathan as a coach from 2003 to 2007 at East Chapel Hill. There are a lot of great things to say about him, but one of the things that has always stood out to me is the amount of energy and forward-looking enthusiasm that Jonathan always puts into his projects. For example, when we got our tournament started at East, his goal from day one was to make it the best one day tournament in the state so we could turn it into an overnight tournament - except really, his goal was to host nationals in the area as soon as he could. Jonathan is really driven to make debate as good an experience as possible for the students, and he would bring a lot to the NFL Board of Directors." - Matt Graham, Assistant Coach, Durham Academy (Durham, NC)
"Jonathan Peele's record of excellence speaks for itself. Never before have I known anyone with more passion for their profession and more dedication to their art than Jonathan Peele has to forensics. Long before he began building programs at East Chapel Hill and coaching dynasties at Manchester and Harker, he taught me how to debate, he gave me confidence. I did Student Congress in high school and, in his spare time as a senior in high school, Jonathan taught me the details of being a great speaker. The lessons learned from Jonathan carried me to success both in forensics and beyond. He is unquestionably dedicated to forensics and is one of the brightest, most gifted speakers and leaders I have ever known. He will undoubtedly bring the same success to the NFL Board of Directors!" - Justin Johnson, 4th Year Medical Student, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, UNC Class of 2006
