First of all, are you an amateuar boxer and are you registered with USA Boxing? Your dad can work your corner as long as he is registered with and certified by USA Boxing. A certification clinic takes about 6 hours and you have to recertify every 24 months. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and tell me what city and state you live in and I'll send you a contact.
