Abstract
The process of moving from one region to another in the U.S. may not be as jarring as immersing oneself in another culture by traveling abroad, but this essay maintains that coaching in two regions with distinct forensics cultures requires a comparable process of acculturation. Similarities and differences in forensics culture in two of the most geographically distant regions in the country, the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest, are discussed. This piece also examines the process of shifting from coaching in one region to another by applying the concept of culture shock to a first-person account of cultural immersion.
