Have you guys ever mentored or try to help any younger cats out and they turn on you?

Her teenage son was being knucklehead. Even his stepdad couldn't help.
She knew I was a big boxing and MMA fan and heard that straightened some kids out. At the time I'd never trained, btw.
So I spent time going to various gyms and researching the trainers to find a good one. I found one, met the owner, and it looked good.
His mom asked me to go with him, though I was out of shape, smoked, etc.
We went twice. He quit and went back to being an idiot. I stayed and trained for the better part of 10 years, made lifelong friends, and got in good shape.
It worked out for me in the long run.
i tried help out my lil cousins several times and he keeps flaking or puzzing out last minute.

Originally posted by TheGR8TESTOAT View PostMe and some colleagues had this discussion. Back when I was a GM, I gave a ton of younger guys a chance and even mentored and helped them all out, but pretty much almost all of them ended up blaming me for their failures. I think thats whats wrong with this generation they bite the hand that feeds them and try to throw anyone under the bus to save their own behind in a heartbeat.
Bunch of my friends had a similar situation where we all tried to give these younger guys the benefit of the doubt and it blows up in our faces.
I never was like that towards any of my mentors. They taught me a lot and pulled strings for me that I still greatly appreciate to this day.
