Eric Guerrero enters the World Team Trials as the top seed at the new 132-pound weight class in freestyle. Guerrero, who has competed on two U.S. World Teams, has also won the U.S. Nationals for two straight years. He also boasts silver medals from the 1999 Pan American Games and the 2002 World Cup, among other top international honors.    Guerrero has reached the top at every level he has competed. He won three California state titles and was an age-group national champion and World medalist in freestyle. In college, he captured three NCAA titles for Oklahoma State. He is now focusing on reaching the top in Olympic wrestling. TheMat.com spoke with Guerrero as he prepared for the upcoming World Team Trials.    TheMat.com: You have competed in two World Championships and have not won a medal yet. What have you done to improve and take the next step at this level?  Guerrero: Aside from technical things, I just took a good look at my outlook on wrestling and how I wanted to compete as well as what I wanted to get accomplished. I just really set my mind to wrestling. The only way you can really succeed is to give yourself no other option but to succeed and that is the way I have prepared myself in the past year. I have been working to keep that mind frame every day. I am staying focused at practice and staying intense every day and in every match. I feel like I've put a lot more preparation into my plan this year. A lot of that comes from experience. I've been out of college for two years and been able to focus on how I want to do things and how I want to train and to a degree, that is starting to pay off.    TheMat.com: So do you feel that any road blocks you may have hit over the past few years are more mental as opposed to physical or technical?  Guerrero: They're not road blocks by any means. It is just something that every wrestler has to figure out for themselves. I just needed to figure out what kind of wrestler I was and how I wanted to compete. You learn so much technique sometimes that you flood your brain. I have been continuing to learn while also making sure I am wrestling in the positions where I want to wrestle at. For every individual opponent, I need to be where I want to be, which is something I haven't done as much in the past.     TheMat.com: Your new weight class is 2 kg heavier than last year. Has the weight change had any affect on you and your style of wrestling?  Guerrero: I think it's better for me. I was losing a pretty good amount of weight to make 127.8 pounds, so adding four and a half pounds really helps. It gives me room to focus more on strength and not have to spend that last week of training cutting weight. I can finish training through the week and feel good about it.    TheMat.com: You had a strong performance at the World Cup, defeating a pair of World Silver medalists and winning a silver yourself. How do you evaluate your performance at the World Cup?  Guerrero: I was disappointed. I went into the tournament wanting to win. I had one goal and that was to win a Gold Medal and defeat all of my opponents. I knew going in that there were some quality guys there. I took a lot from that tournament and even more from the match I lost. That match was good for me. It brought some things to my attention that I need to focus on and work on.    TheMat.com: World Champion Giuvu Sissaouri of Canada has defeated you twice in the last year. What must you do to beat him next time you face him?  Guerrero: I'm kind of working on that right now. As for a strategy, that will come when the time comes to face him. Right now I am just working to better myself. I still have goals that need to be accomplished and matches that need to be won before I wrestle him again.    TheMat.com:Explain your training situation. Who do you work out with and who is coaching you on a daily basis?  Guerrero: A lot of my training comes from myself. I have to go out and grab guys to work out with and have them meet me at a time. I work out with Jamill Kelly and John Smith and a lot of guys here at OSU and sometimes I will travel around places and workout with whoever is out there. It has to come from yourself.    TheMat.com: How helpful is it for you to have John Smith by your side as you train?  Guerrero: Obviously John helps me a lot. He is more there to keep me from overtraining. He's a good coach. He's really good for me. A lot of times coaches can see more of your faults than you would like and John is like that. I don't think I would want to have it any other way, though. He is very honest about what needs to be done and what he thinks I need to do to get to the places that I want to be. He knows I don't want to be sugarcoated and I don't want to be misled. It doesn't get any better than that.
