About

The College of Education & Human Development's sport administration program will host a conversation with Erin Hanson (B.S.E. '86), CEHD alum and co-founder of Guardian Sports, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. The location will be announced soon.

Guardian Sports works to create safer equipment for athletes at every level. Some examples include:

The Guardian Cap, launched in 2012, is worn by over 500,000 athletes and mandated by the NFL and CFL after proving its ability to reduce impact forces. Guardian introduced the SoftShox Chinstrap in 2025, the first safety chinstrap engineered to absorb facemask impacts. In lacrosse, the PEARL line revolutionized the game with the first greaseless, U.S.-made lacrosse balls that stay in spec. Guardian developed a USDA-certified, bio-based infill and the Astropad underlayment, creating safer, cleaner turf systems nationwide. The LOOP, developed with Schutt, brings the same protection to flag football and non-helmeted sports.At this event, Hanson will discuss entrepreneurship, her path to success and the company's impact on the sport industry.
