Athletic women who are encouraging other women to play sports inspire us. Strong women, who see strength in theirselves and in others also inspired us. That’s why Strong Athletic created this Strong Athletic Woman Baseball T-shirt in 2015, so that if you’re a strong woman you can find others like you. Regardless of if you buy this shirt as a gift for a friend or for yourself, you’re helping to spread an important message about some in sports and athletics.
