Cael Sanderson is on a path to greatness. At the World Team Trials in June, he will look to earn his second consecutive spot on the U.S. World Team. He has not lost to a U.S. opponent since the Olympic Team Trials in 2000.    As a collegian, Sanderson broke numerous NCAA records on his way to a 159-0 career that included four NCAA titles.    TheMat.com spoke with Sanderson about his career goals and what he learned from his last loss.    TheMat.com: What has been the biggest transition for you in wrestling folkstyle to now wrestling strictly freestyle?  Sanderson: Its a little different because you are more on your own. There is no Bobby Douglas there to take you through your workout. You know what your goals are and what you have to do to achieve them. I kind of like it, though. I can go at my pace all the time.    TheMat.com: In April, you received coaching offers from a few different schools but stayed at Iowa State. Did you ever seriously consider leaving Iowa State?  Sanderson: There were other offers, but Iowa State is kind of like my second home. Everyone here has supported me throughout my career and my brother, Cody, is also still here. I have had great successes here at Iowa State so there was really no reason to leave.    TheMat.com: Do you feel that you will have the same pressure to not lose as you did in college, or did that go away when your college career ended?  Sanderson: There is always going to be that pressure. The key for me will be to just concentrate on what I have to do to make the World Team and then to win a gold medal. I can't let those other distractions bother me. The media has been pretty good about just letting me wrestle and waiting until after the tournament to begin asking me questions.    TheMat.com: Two years ago you had a memorable match with Les Gutches at U.S. Nationals. You then lost in the Olympic Trials that year but have not lose in the U.S. since then. What did you learn from those losses?  Sanderson: I just made some mistakes in those matches. I did some pretty stupid things that I needed to eliminate. I learned not to do stupid things and give up five points. It makes it a lot easier if you don't get thrown for five. I have been less risky and just smarter in the way I roll around and do things in my matches.    TheMat.com: What is the one skill you have improved on the most over the course of the past year?  Sanderson: Just being smarter in how I wrestle my matches. Like I said, I have taken less risks than I was a couple of years ago. I feel now that I have learned from my past mistakes. Though it is never good to lose, I learned a lot from those matches in 2000.    TheMat.com: Your top goal in wrestling right now is to win a World Gold Medal. Because of that, do you regret at all not competing in last year's World Championships?  Sanderson: Not really. I knew going in tot he Trials that my first priority was the NCAA Tournament and doing as well as I could at that. It just happened to work out that I could get the World Championships in there. I made up my mind and never questioned it since then.    TheMat.com: Two weeks ago you went to Iowa City to train with Joe Williams and Chad Lamer. Last weekend, you were in Colorado Springs training with such guys as 2000 Olympian Charles Burton. How has your training been helped by being able to work out with such top athletes?  Sanderson: It's certainly nice to wrestle with that caliber of competition. I am just trying to pick things up from them. Any help or tips I can get from some of those guys is definitely nice. I am just starting out on this level, so those guys can be a big help to me.    TheMat.com: Have you trained specifically for any of your possible opponents - such as Lee Fullhart or Brandon Eggum?  Sanderson: I train to correct my weaknesses where I don't feel comfortable in those areas. I don't train for certain individuals. There are a certain guys out there that you just know it is not going to be tough to motivate yourself to wrestle.    TheMat.com: If you could wrestle anyone in the world tomorrow - who would it be and why?  Sanderson: I don't think about things like that. I just try to take things one match at a time. I guess if I had to pick one person, though, it would be my little brother, Cyler. I at least know that I can beat him. Maybe even my mom.
