Why we exist

The coaches the big agencies overlook.

The largest agencies compete for Power-conference head coaches and star athletes. Women coaches and mid-career assistants, especially at mid-major, Division II, and Division III programs and in sports beyond basketball, rarely get an advocate. That's who Dexter Sports Co. is built for.
