Tennis Dad

There's a kind of love that shows up before sunrise and rarely says much about itself. It's in the trunk loaded with gear before anyone else is awake, the quiet drive to a tournament three towns over, the steady presence at the fence that doesn't need to say a word to be felt. A tennis dad doesn't always talk about what he's giving up. He just shows up, again and again, season after season.

Tennis Dad is a collection built around that quiet devotion — the early mornings, the long waits, the proud phone calls to someone else when the words won't come out directly, the old racket passed down like something sacred. These aren't joke mugs. They're tributes to the kind of steady, unglamorous love that rarely gets its own trophy, told through portraits and quotes that actually understand what the job requires.

This is for the dad who's lived every version of this — the proud, the patient, the worried, the ones who never missed a match even when no one was counting.

Tennis Dad. The love behind every match.
