I just caught the MTV show "Made" where some teenager undergoes some mentoring and becomes something they thought they never could become. On the show I saw, this boy named Chris wants to try out for his school's varsity footbal team. He has this woman coach/mentor him (and find him a blind date along the way). As the story proceeds, his parents send him off to a boarding school (Cushing Academy) in New Enlgand. He gives up trying out for football, and ends up going out for XC (probably got in good shape for all the laps he had to run under his previous footbal coach for mouthing off). He ends up making the varsity team, and in the race they show him competing in, he's the team's # 1 runner.
