“WHEN YOU’RE THE UNDERDOG, CLOSE ROUNDS AREN’T ENOUGH”

-Coach Mena-

Happy Father’s Day to the man who taught me everything I know and played the biggest role in making me the man I am today.

When I was younger, I thought I understood everything my dad did for our family. But it wasn’t until I became a grown man and a father myself that I truly understood the sacrifices he made, the burdens he carried, and the battles he fought without ever letting us see how hard life was hitting him.

We didn’t come from money. Nothing was handed to him. Like many men, he faced struggles, setbacks, and responsibilities that would have broken a lot of people. Yet somehow, he kept going. He showed up every day, put his family first, and never stopped fighting for us.

As I’ve gone through my own challenges in life, I’ve found myself asking how he did it. How he carried so much and still found a way to be there for everyone around him. The older I get, the more respect I have for the man he is.

My dad is my rock, my hero, and one of the greatest examples of strength, sacrifice, loyalty, and perseverance I’ve ever known. He’s stood by me when I was right, and more importantly, when I was wrong. No matter what life threw at me, he never stopped being my father.

Words will never fully explain how much he means to me or how grateful I am for everything he’s done and continues to do. I love you, Dad. Thank you for every sacrifice, every lesson, every tough conversation, and every moment you never gave up on me.

Happy ❤️🥊🥊
