DON’T FOLLOW THE WAVE
EDUCATE. EXPOSE. ENCOURAGE. EMPOWER. ELEVATE.
ABOUT
Anthony's journey through life has shaped him into a young individual who learned early on to forge his own path and not simply follow the crowd. This principle, “Don’t Follow The Wave” became his mantra both on and off the court.
In his formative years, there was one word that never crossed Anthony's lips: "Can't." Together with his business manager, Justin Holland, he founded the Don't Follow the Wave Foundation. Their mission is to empower student-athletes by educating them on the myriad career options within the sports business, enabling them to realize their full potential while pursuing their passions. Don’t Follow the Wave also focuses on other initiatives such as spreading awareness regarding cancer in the Community and providing assistance for single mothers in need. Anthony is committed to nurturing his Georgia roots and making a lasting impact wherever he goes. He believes in the power of self-belief, continuously striving to inspire others to realize that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
