To the Locals dads.
The ones on the mats. The ones on the sidelines. The ones who’ve sat through every grading, every comp, every training morning and Afternoon.
You show up. Week in, week out. You drive across town after a full day’s work. You tie belts, you carry gear bags, you cheer loudest when your kid finally hits the sweep they’ve been chasing for months.
Some of you train alongside your kids. Some of you watch from the bench. All of you are teaching them the same thing, that you turn up for the people you love, even when you’re tired.
We could only pull a handful of photos together for this one. There are hundreds more we didn’t get. But you don’t need a photo on the wall to know what you mean to your kids, or to this academy.
Happy Father’s Day, fellas. Enjoy your day. 🖤
