Back and forth each taping night he went&#8230; sometimes not arriving home until 1:00 am or later,then rising to make it in for the regular Phoenix school day. One hundred hours of taping were required to get the one hour show. <\/p>\n<p>Mills&#8217; charge was a 15 year old kid, Dov &#8220;The Hammer &#8220;Rubenstein, a dancer, who was tired of being picked on and bullied by classmates. He wanted to lift weights, &#8220;get ripped &#8220;(muscles) and be a wrestler, because everyone respects the wrestler. <\/p>\n<p>Mills says, &#8220;He really was so soft. &#8220;The challenge says Mills was to provide tasks and activities to make the goal happen for Rubenstein. It was a challenge for both Mills and his charge, but says Mills, &#8220;I had a blast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tune in to MTV on Thursday, January 13 at 10:00 p.m. and see how Coach Mills &#8220;made &#8220;it happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympian Gene Mills to be on MTV Show &#8220;Made &#8220;starting Thursday, Jan. 131\/11\/2005Diana Cook Everyone who has been through the Phoenix schools has probably heard of Coach Gene Mills.
