After the NCAA championships last March, Tanner Weatherman took a step back and evaluated his Iowa State wrestling career.

He looked at his 68 career wins, his three-straight trips to the national tournament, and saw it all as one massive underachievement.

“The saying — I don’t know exactly how it goes — but basically, if you keep doing the same thing and expect different results, that’s the definition of insanity or stupidity, or whatever you want to call it,” he said.
