Summary: | Since the need for financial resources and competent leaders is high in the modern sports industry, the demands on these leaders are also growing. With few means it is expected that good results will be achieved. In order to compete at the international level, higher demands will be placed on coaches and leaders in all sports in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to develop an elite development plan for trainer in wrestling with the specific purpose of identifying the characteristics a successful trainer should possess and what efforts are needed to develop the Swedish wrestling movement. In the study, four national team coaches and four national team wrestlers participated, four of which were men and four were women. The answers received have largely been about the coach's ability to listen to his adept and to respond to their opinions. It also emerged that cohesion in the training group is a key factor for success. Furthermore, the lack of financial resources was considered a major obstacle to the development of sport. As a conclusion, it can be seen that the visibility of wrestling in Sweden is not great, which indirectly affects the conditions that both coaches and practitioners have to work in their sports.
