4-H and FFA Project Coaching: Succeed with Your SAE or Show Project

This one-on-one coaching session is designed to help 4-H and FFA members succeed in their projects—whether they’re working on livestock, veterinary science, horticulture, ag mechanics, or record books. With personalized support from an experienced agriculture educator and livestock producer, learners will receive expert guidance tailored to their specific goals, deadlines, and project areas. Whether they need help preparing for a livestock show, polishing a record book, studying for a judging contest, or organizing an SAE, this class provides the individualized feedback and tools they need to improve and succeed.

This class is completely personalized to meet the learner’s current needs and interests. After a brief introduction, we’ll spend the session focusing on one or more of the following areas (based on the learner’s choice):

Topics may include:
- Livestock care, nutrition, grooming, or showmanship prep  
- Record book organization, accuracy, and improvement  
- SAE project planning or progress reviews  
- Public speaking or demonstration coaching  
- FFA CDE/LDE prep (Vet Science, Livestock Judging, Ag Mechanics, etc.)  
- Goal setting and project time management  
- Fair or competition preparation  
- Resume or officer application coaching  

How is this class structured? 
- Class opens with a brief check-in to set goals for the session  
- I’ll guide the student through questions, shared work, or feedback depending on what they need  
- We may use screen-sharing, shared documents, visual aids, or practice questions  
- The class ends with a clear takeaway or action plan for the student to continue their progress  

What is my teaching style?
My style is supportive, practical, and flexible. I bring both classroom teaching experience and real-world agriculture and livestock knowledge to help students connect learning with life. I focus on encouragement, clarity, and helping each student feel more confident and capable in their work.

This is a fully live, one-on-one coaching session. Students will talk with me directly, share questions, screen share or show their work, and get instant feedback. Learners are encouraged to come prepared with materials or questions, but I can also guide students who aren't sure where to start.
