Adam Wheeler wins bronze medal at 96 kg in Greco-Roman for the first U.S. wrestling medal
Gary Abbott USA Wrestling 08/15/2008
Adam Wheeler (Colorado Springs, Colo./Gator WC) won a bronze medal at 96 kg/211.5 lbs. on the final day of Greco-Rosaid Wheeler during his press conference after the victory. “We have 19 people who cameman wrestling at the China Agricultural University Gymnasium on Thursday evening. He defeated Han Tae-Young of Korea in the bronze medal match, 3-1, 4-1. It was the first medal won by the United States in wrestling at the Beijing Games. Wheeler won the first period after scoring two-points on a high gut wrench during the final par terre position. In the second period, Wheeler scored a two-point reversal from the bottom in the final par terre position to clinch the victory.
“My wife and my mother are here,” here for me, and it can’t get any better than that.” Han was a 2006 Asian Games champion. His best finish at the World Championships was his 10th place performance at the 2006 World Championships in Guangzhou, China.
During the morning session, Wheeler won his first two matches, then was defeated in the semifinals by Mirko Englich of Germany, which placed him into the bronze-medal match. “I am very happy for Adam,” said National Greco-Roman Coach Steve Fraser. “He has worked hard for many years, especially the last few months. He has a great attitude. He is a wonderful, coachable kid.” Wheeler is competing on his first U.S. Senior World-level team after a number of years on the national scene. He is originally from Lancaster, Calif. Wheeler competed for the U.S. Navy, then the USOEC program at Northern Michigan Univ. before becoming a resident athlete at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
It was the final day of Greco-Roman competition at the Olympics. Dremiel Byers (Colorado Springs, Colo./U.S. Army), who was eliminated on Thursday morning at 120 kg/264.5 lbs., placed seventh in his weight class. Two-time Olympian Brad Vering (Colorado Springs, Colo./New York AC), finished in 12th at 84 kg/185 lbs. The wrestling competition resumes on Saturday, August 16 with the beginning of the women?s freestyle tournament.

Pretty slow these days, so here is the final metaphor:
PATH UP THE MOUNTAIN METAPHOR
Suppose you are taking a hike in the mountains. You know how mountain trails are constructed, especially if the slopes are steep. They wind back and forth; often they have “switchbacks” which make you literally walk back and forth, and sometimes a trail will even drop back to below a level you had reached earlier. If I asked you at a number of points on such a trail to evaluate how well you are accomplishing your goal of reaching the mountain top, I would hear a different story every time. If you were in switchback mode, you would probably tell me that things were not going well, that you were never going to reach the top. If you were in a stretch of open territory where you could see the mountaintop and the path leading up to it, you would probably say that things were going very well. Now imagine that we are across the valley with binoculars, looking at people hiking on this trail. If we were asked how they were doing, we would have a positive progress report every time. We would be able to see that the overall direction of the trail, not what it looks like at a given moment, is the key to progress. We would see that following this crazy, winding trail is exactly what leads to the top.

SKIING METAPHOR
Suppose you go skiing. You take a lift to the top of a hill, and you are just about to ski down the hill when a man comes along and asks where you are going. “I’m going to the lodge at the bottom” you reply. He says, “I can help you with that” and promptly grabs you, throws you into a helicopter, and flies you to the lodge. You’d be upset, no? Skiing is not just the goal of getting to the lodge, because any number of activities can accomplish that for us. Skiing is how we are going to get there. Yet notice that getting to the lodge is important because it allows us to do the process of skiing in a direction. If I tried to ski uphill instead of down, it wouldn’t work. Valuing down over up is necessary in downhill skiing. Steven Hayes, Ph.D. describes this as: Outcome is the process through which the process can become the outcome.
Three quotes from John Wooden appear to hit on the same concept:
“A successful journey is the destination”
“The glory is in getting there”
“The journey is better than the inn”
I guess that it is up to you to figure out how all this is relevant to goals, wrestling, and you.

SWAMP METAPHOR
Suppose you are beginning a journey to a beautiful mountain you can clearly see in the distance. No sooner do you start the hike than you walk right into a swamp that extends as far as you can see in all directions. You say to yourself, “Gee, I didn’t realize that I was going to have to go through a swamp. It’s smelly, and the mud is all mushy in my shoes. It’s hard to lift my feet out of the muck and put them forward. I’m wet and tired. Why didn’t anybody tell me about this swamp?” When that happens you have a choice: abandon the journey or enter the swamp. We go into the swamp, not because we want to get muddy, but because it stands between us and where we are going.
Steven Hayes, Ph.D. states that this metaphor highlights the fact that when we are traveling in a particular direction, the journey can take us across difficult ground. It also shows that we don’t walk into pain because we like pain. We walk through pain in the service of taking a valued direction. This is one of three metaphors related to goal setting.
Hopefully, you reflect on it and on your direction and goals as they pertain to next year in wrestling, school, etc.
