History
Definitive Sports Group formerly Definitive Sports Representation was formed in 2009 by Tenisha Patterson Brown. After working in college recruiting and athletics marketing, she quickly realized that athletes needed more than an agent. They needed someone that cared about their development as men and businessmen. Most athletes she encountered did not realize that being an athlete was a career and not their identity. Her goal was to challenge clients to be more than an athlete, and to expand their portfolio to be more marketable to businesses and the community. Her first client was her now husband and college sweetheart, Everette Brown.
In 2012, legal consulting was added under the Definitive Sports umbrella. Tenisha primarily represented NFL players until 2015 when she expanded her clientele to include the spouses of current and former athletes. Our athletes help make DSG possible and as a result in 2018 Definitive Sports Representation was changed to Definitive Sports Group.
At Definitive Sports, our passion is helping our clients fulfill their dreams by providing the resources and support they need.
