Simply Sports Foundation uplifts grass-root level athletes through research, workshops, scholarships and training programs. 

One of their programs, Simple Smiles, was a mental-health training initiative for coaches. I designed a handbook that went along with their larger educational campaign about the specific mental-health challenges faced by sportspersons, especially in competitive sports.

I made an illustrated narrative woven through the chapters layouts. It followed the journey of an athlete and her coach as they navigate challenges, all the way to the finish line. The book also has several other context specific spot illustrations.
