AE5 in Paris ❤️🌍🏀

Amazing trip for AE5 17u Basketball program.

The vision came from Anthony Edwards’ business manager and DFTW co founder Justin Holland. Justin Holland 

We competed against some of the best U17 talent in France, explored the Louvre, stood beneath the Eiffel Tower, learned to make authentic crêpes, toured Google’s Paris office, visited adidas, and closed the trip with a dinner cruise on the Seine where we thanked our players for believing in this program.

Grateful to everyone who helped turn this dream into reality. None of this happens alone.

Thank you, Anthony Edwards Don't Follow the Wave , WME Basketball , and adidas Basketball , for believing in our vision and investing in these young men.
