Welcome to Season 3 of LIGHT Impact!

Season 3 kicks off with Nick Esayian sitting down with Tyler Renard, Regional Sales Manager at LIGHT Helmets and a guy who has seen the equipment room from just about every angle there is.

Tyler got his start as a student manager for the football program at the University of Arkansas while earning his degree in sports management. From there it was an equipment internship at South Florida, a return to Fayetteville as a graduate assistant that turned into Assistant Director of Equipment Operations, then Assistant AD of Equipment Operations at UTSA overseeing gear and budgets across all 25 teams, and finally Director of Football Equipment at Auburn. He joined LIGHT in February of 2025.

Nick and Tyler get into what the job actually looks like behind the scenes, the habits and instincts that separate good equipment managers from great ones, and how the role has changed as technology reshapes helmets, fitting, and player safety. Tyler also talks about his work with the Athletic Equipment Managers Association, where he serves as head proctor of the AEMA certification exam and sits on the Certification Exam Committee.
