About DecaPrep
Our writing, editing, and software development teams all have three things in common.
One, we love Decathlon. Seriously, we love it. We’ve competed in it, we’ve coached it, and we believe in it as a way for students to achieve high potential in a world that de-emphasizes content knowledge and academic competition. DecaPrep is a love letter to Decathlon and all it is - and we believe it to be a supplement to all the wonderful things Decathlon provides.
Secondly, we’ve done well in Decathlon. The coaches on our team have coached teams that have placed at Nationals. Our core team is made up of former Decathletes that have scored highly, and we keep the team small on purpose so that we can share a common vision and quality for the materials.
Mostly, we believe in pedagogy and education. While Decathlon prep in February, March, and April is often focused on learning those little tiny details, we have a different approach. We want to teach the Decathlon materials. Our Textbooks will take the outlines and attempt to guide you through the material in not only approachable language, but with reasonably-paced practice problems in Economics, Math, and Science, using the expertise of experienced teachers in these subjects. Our Presentations are designed to focus on the details so that coaches can present in a 45 minute lesson, with review questions at the end of each. We make Activities to keep things alive and interesting during practice so that students will want to come to after school practices. And yes, our Quizzes and Flashcards will have both the big and small picture in mind, and allow you to track your progress.
We encourage you to give us a shot with our Beta Test in 2025-26 and help us make the best preparatory materials for Decathlon around.
