    Looks like you have made a good start - you have managed to get the capitalization of attributes, methods and Class names correct from the sart - an encouraging sign!

    I would only quibble with a couple of issues - Class attributes 'should' have the appropriate qualifier 'public', 'private' etc. and you need to use getters and setters to access those attributes e.g.:
    public String getName(){ return name;}

    So lets say I initialize the Athlete class in a main test program. I would declare the name and country of the diver. But then how do I link the dive class to the Athlete class so that I am able to initialize the type of dive and dive difficulty to associate that with the Athlete I initialized?

    If you have a reference to an instance of the class, you can call its methods to set values in the instance.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
