He just went back to being a knucklehead, however.
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.

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.

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.
