ERIC GUERRERO  2002-03 Team USA Ranking: No. 1 at 60 kg/132 lbs.  Years on Team USA: 6 (1998-2004)  Residence: Stillwater, Okla.  Club: Gator WC  College: Oklahoma State Univ.  High School: San Jose, Calif. (Independence HS)  Born: May 15, 1977 in San Jose, Calif.  Height: 5-7    1. Are you starting to get used to winning the U.S. Nationals, with this being your third title in-a-row?  Guerrero: I wouldn't say I get used to winning. Every year is a new year. There are no guarantees that every year is going to get easier. I look at each year as a new challenge and that is how I continue to get better.    2. Given your intense series of matches last year with Jesus Wilson at the World Team Trials, were you any more pumped up for the finals match with him at Nationals than your other matches?  Guerrero: I just go out and try to do what I feel I am best at and address it that way. I try not to put too much emotion into it. It's not the best thing to get too excited. I wouldn't say I was any more up for that match than any other match.    3. You had spoken of him taking some cheap shots at you last year. When Wilson was whistled for a choke hold in the first period, did you feel that he may begin resorting to some of those tactics again?  Guerrero: I'm not going to comment on anything like that.    4. Is Wilson your biggest rival right now?  Guerrero: I think every person I step onto the mat against is my biggest rival. You keep the immediate challenge right in front of you. It's about being in the moment. You have to be in every moment in every match.    5. You seem to be more aggressive this year than in some of the past years. What in your style or training has changed?  Guerrero: I've learned to really believe in my training regimen. I train very hard and put a lot of effort into giving myself the opportunity to being the very best. I'm glad that you or other people may have noticed that because that's how I want to wrestle. I want to put more points on the board, and that may be an indication that I am succeeding.    6. Are you wrestling better right now than at any point in your career?  Guerrero: I don't know. You can't look back and say 'I wrestled good here and there'. It's a continuous process and you keep trying to get better. Hopefully it will all come together at the right times and I will be able to achieve the things I want to achieve.    7. Internationally, what do you have to do this year to get yourself over the hump and come home with a medal?  Guerrero: Be ready for every match. Be intense. There is a list of things that coach Jackson has talked about over and over. I kept that list and I look it over all the time. He knows what it takes to win championships. He won three. John Smith talks about the same things. I look at them and try to do the things they are telling me on a daily basis.    8. Do you feel that the World Championships being in New York City will just add pressure to how you will perform or will it be a motivational factor?  Guerrero: I think pressure and motivation are the same thing. For there to be one, the other has to be there. To be able to perform in front of your fellow citizens, there is no better motivator. You want to do well for yourself and compete hard for your country and the people that came all that way to watch you.    9. Does the Worlds being in your home country this year in any way make up for not being able to compete in them last year?  Guerrero: Nothing can ever make up for that. That year is gone. But, you can do your best with what lies in front of you.    10. You competed in the Kurt Angle Classic and the RealProWrestling event. How do you feel those types of events could help the popularity of the sport of amateur wrestling?  Guerrero: I know I had a good time at both of them. It was fun to be part of that. I think that's something our fans would really enjoy. Putting a little twist on it was part of the key to bringing it to a mass audience.
