Strong Girl Publishing Athletically-oriented books for middle grade & young adult girls, written by young women athletes.

We make athletically-oriented books + content for middle grade and young adult girls, written by young women athletes. Strong Girl Publishing was founded by Molly Hurford, author of the Shred Girls, a series for girls who want to have fun on two wheels! You being here is awesome, because it means you’re ready to get rad on a bike, find another sport that fits your passions, or maybe just read a book to get a taste for what sport can do for you.

EVERY CHILD MATTERS. Today in Canada is a day to honour and remember the children who never returned home from residential schools, as well as the Survivors, and their families from First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

We honour their experience and their stories, and of course, we believe that every child matters. Storytelling and sport traditions are both so interwoven in these cultures, and both can be used to bring people together or to exclude people, even from their own histories. We have a responsibility to invite every child to play and to make sure that every child’s story can be heard, today and every day.

Join us for a lap of the Nationals course on Monday 10/5 at Hardwood Ski and Bike with Pulse Racing ! We know it can be intimidating to hop on a cross course if you’re new to the sport so at 6pm Molly Hurford is leading a lap for women and girls—meet her by the Strong Girl Publishing tent to say hi and get on the course with a friend! (And Hardwood is providing free hot chocolate AND bike rentals so this is an awesome opportunity.)

Did you know that pelvic health can impact things like constipation, or that leaking isn’t just something women may struggle with postpartum? Pelvic health physiotherapist Laura Powers Higher Function Women’s Health wants to help young women understand their unique anatomy so that if issues do come up, they’re equipped to handle them and advocate for themselves. Check out our online course (great for parents and coaches as well as athletes!) and take control!

When you host tryouts, a poster or email about them can feel like an afterthought for busy coaches and educators, but for kids and parents, those posters ARE their entry into sport. What do they see when they look at yours? We have a self assessment that you can go through to get a better sense of how your tryouts are inviting kids in or (often unintentionally) leaving kids out. Take a look at a few of the questions here and head to stronggirlpublishing.com/resport to get the free PDF and check out WHY CAN’T THEY PLAY to dig into barriers and solutions to invite more kids to sport
