About Us
Meet Dana and Liz Marquez:
Dana Marquez, founder of HelmetFitting.com, was honored as the first-ever recipient of the Maxwell Award for Innovation in Safety. With over two decades of experience in the sports equipment industry, Dana has held notable positions such as Assistant Equipment Manager at Oregon State University, Director of Equipment Operations at the University of California-Berkeley, Promotions Manager for Schutt Sports Group, and Associate Athletic Director for Equipment Operations at Auburn University.
Liz Marquez, former teacher and co-founder of HelmetFitting.com, worked closely with legislators and manufacturers to author the fitting guidelines for all youth sports associated with Alabama’s Coach Safely program and Coach Safety Act in addition to fitting guidelines for LIGHT Helmets and GameBreaker Helmets. During Covid, Liz’s role shifted to overseeing the sales and distribution of Shema97 masks.
Dana and Liz were inspired to create HelmetFitting.com after Dana spent years addressing questions from parents and coaches about how to properly fit helmets and equipment. They joined forces to create an eLearning platform designed to optimize athletes’ safety by educating the masses on how to properly fit football equipment according to manufacturer guidelines. Through HelmetFitting.com’s step-by-step eLearning courses, you’ll learn how to correctly fit helmets, shoulder pads, body pads, and footwear.
Liz and Dana’s mission is clear: to foster a safer environment for young athletes and to expand opportunities for every player to enjoy the game of football.
Join the movement to make football safer for the next generation by learning how to get athletes properly fit to play.
