I saw this kid again, and I shook his hand, and it looks like he’s going to wrestling more to play than to practice seriously.
I do not know what sport the child likes the most, but if the parents paid for February, it means that while he continues to train.
As it was already noted in our discussion , very small percentage of children become professional wrestlers.
By far , exercise should not be a burden but a pleasure, especially since in modern times the choice for kids is very huge.
There are many exciting sports sections, and not only sports, but also - dancing, musical instruments, even chess can be very useful.

Umm… If the child both hates wrestling, and does not want to be a wrestler, you should work to find him or her an activity they actually enjoy…
 
I do not really want to delve into the private emotions of this family, I think the child and the parents have enough wisdom to solve this issue for the benefit of the child.
I was interested in how correctly in that case to convince, to push in wise way, or to interest the child for the wrestling.
I thought maybe there is a sports educational experience to convince the child.

Wow. I have been reading your situation wrong. I thought you were said child’s mother. But I guess you’re the wrestling coach? That puts your deep love of wrestling into perspective.
 
In a hall of wrestling three groups are engaged, who train on different time, I personally go to the third group. The first two groups at an earlier time- thе children of different ages. I am not a coach, I train but perform among veterans (veterans 35 years and older)
I just witnessed once the emotions of parents and the child, therefore, I was interested in this question.

If I was a coach and saw that the kid didn’t want to be there. I would have a talk with the parents. The kid should be playing a sport because he wished to participate in it.
 
Sorry, I didn’t read far enough before posting. I thought you were one of the parents.

It appears you are the coach?
 
I train there as a wrestler, and I tried to justify a theory on the transition - “from disgust from the process of training to the pleasure from process of training”.
Such transitional period happened to me and to many other wrestlers. I believed that “grudge period” need to be overcomed.
 
Yes, here I found interesting information about the history of the wrestling.
“During the Middle Ages (fifth century to fifteenth century) wrestling remained popular and enjoyed the patronage of many royal families, including those of France, Japan and England.” (Wikipedia. Wrestling)
