📸 A room full of history, tradition, and stories you won’t find anywhere else. As part of our “EQ.HQ” (Equipment Headquarters) series - presented by Riddell - we took a deep dive into BYU Football’s historic equipment room—capturing the gear, the legacy and the details that make this space truly one of a kind. There’s a timeline of BYU Football uniforms over the decades, rows of helmets and face masks ready for game day use, uniforms worn by current coaches in their playing days and helmets traded with other EQ staffs. Beyond the helmets and uniforms, it’s about how facilities and equipment staff preserve tradition while supporting today’s athletes. 👉 Watch the full feature here: https://lnkd.in/g92SKz4t #SportsDissected #EQHQ #Riddell #BYUFootball #SportsFacilities #CollegeFootball #BehindTheScenes #SportsStorytelling #AthleticFacilities

Innovation in design and data is no longer just about equipment. It is about the future of the game itself. She shared how her strengths as a leader help her balance innovation with stewardship and performance with protection. It is leadership delivered with conviction and humility.
