No, this is not an ode to Jim Mora’s playoff rant as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. But, as social and dating apps continue to evolve. There is one person that has created app just for athletes. Meet Amanda McGrew, who created Playoff Dating App.
Amanda is a former college basketball player from Los Angeles. A few years ago, she was single and found it increasingly difficult to meet like minded people through generic dating apps like Tinder and Bumble. She knew that athletes have always been "her people", so she developed a niche dating app exclusively for current and former college and professional athletes.
After using the app for a couple of days it’s definitely a great app for those looking to find someone with similar interest. It does a great job of verifying who you are and where you played. Unlike some apps, you really feel like you are swiping and/or connecting with real people with similar backgrounds and interest.
I can see this app taking off in the near future as more and more athletes begin to use it. Especially for athletes in concentrated cities like Atlanta, DC, San Francisco, LA, and New York. Go Download it!
