Simply Sport Foundation

About

Every day, we see how tough it is for athletes to break through. Talent is everywhere, but so are the hurdles. Har ek player ki journey itni easy nahi hoti (Not every player’s journey is easy). We go beyond just supporting athletes - we’re working to change what stands in their way.

How We Shape Change

Our advice on sports governance reform in India comes straight from the field, not just meeting rooms. We build our recommendations on what we learn through hands-on work with athletes across the country. If we push for something, it’s because we’ve seen the gap ourselves.

• Use real data – like our menstrual health tracker or wellness program outcomes
• Focus on what’s practical, not just what sounds good on paper

What We Focus On

Athlete protection policies are at the heart of everything:

• Health and wellness: pushing for real support, including mental health and menstrual health in sports plans
• Safety: fighting for tougher anti-harassment systems and gender-sensitive rules
• Financial basics: helping athletes understand contracts and rights

We’re big on gender equality in sports administration, too. We keep asking tough questions (ladkiyan bhi kuch kar sakti hain? - Can girls also do something?) and back up the answers by fighting for more women in leadership and fair treatment for female athletes.

We also help make sports bodies more transparent and bring Indian sports governance closer to global standards.

Real Impact

Like our work in Bihar – leading policy change for female athlete wellness, using three years of our own grassroots experience and data.

What Drives Us

Our end goal is simple: a fair, world-class sports system where every athlete gets a real shot. Wohi asli jeet hai (that’s the real victory).
