Try this: Do not let him wrestle this weekend, even if he says he wants to. He'll either like the break and decide he is done for the year or he will like the break and really want to wrestle next week. Either way he will like the break.

I think as parents we need to make the kids and ourselves take a break for at least 4 tournaments a year. Be careful, these little guys look up to dad and want to make dad happy. Sometimes they will say they want to wrestle because they think that is what dad wants.

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to raise their kid, just something I learned from experience.
