Nick is an employee at a small NAIA college who works as a cataloguer in the library.  He studied Recreation Management in undergrad and was an alternate at a prominent wrestling program in the Midwest.  He has a small stipend to assist with the new men's wrestling program.  He's excited to know that the school plans to add a women's squad in the next two years. As an assistant coach, Nick has completed four courses related to coaching wrestling through United World Wrestling.  These courses have included modules on athlete safety, planning practices, optimizing periodization for training, and practical elements related to developing chain wrestling techniques.  In the summer he plans to take a non-certificate course in wrestling officiating.  

In the summer, Nick is notified that the Head Coach of the current program is leaving.  He is offered the position, but the salary would be a pay cut from his current position at the library.  The Athletic Director is able to request that the college match his salary, but will only make the offer if Nick agrees to take on the Athletic Director's friend Martin, as his Assistant.  

1. Nick is excited to take on the new role.  When he meets Martin, he learns that he has a background in Tae Kwon Do and Jiu Jitsu, but no formal experience competing or coaching folk wrestling.  Though Nick is experienced in designing and implementing practices, he's nervous about traveling with one squad and leaving Martin to run practices alone.  What are three elements that qualified instructors ought to be able to provide to their learners?
