Playoff Dating App
Hi, everyone! My name is Amanda McGrew and I am a former college basketball player and the founder of Playoff Dating App! Once my playing career ended, I found myself back home in Los Angeles teaching PE and coaching basketball, while attempting to navigate the online dating world. After several years of trying to use the more generic dating platforms, I couldn’t get over how difficult it was to find people like me, or people who I thought would be able to understand my perspective. That is when the idea for Playoff was born!
Playoff is a dating app for current and former collegiate and professional athletes. My athletic career has been extremely influential to my personal growth and development, and the idea of meeting other athletes and connecting to those with a similar life experience/perspective is incredibly special to me. Playoff can be found in the App Store or Google Play! Connect with us on Instagram or feel free to email me at amanda@playoffdatingapp.com with questions or feedback!
Post Game Professions
Post Game Professions is the leading voice to connect former/current female athletes to meaningful careers, while providing employers an access opportunity to build relationships with this unique talent pool. Through years in high level sport, athletes naturally inherit a backbone of hard work, competitive drive, persistence and ambition. These individuals represent much more than what’s on their resume – they embody the characteristics of what it takes to be successful in the workplace.
The idea of PGP was born after founder – Hanna Moher – entered the workforce herself for the first time after finishing playing professional hockey. As hockey ended and the job hunt began, Hanna started to realize the struggle most athletes go through; there was no real way to showcase her unique background and skills gained through high-level sport on her resume. This is when Post Game Professions came to fruition! Connect on Instagram, check out the website, or email Hanna at hanna@postgameprofessions.com to get started!
High Performance Behavior Coaching and Consulting
Hi! I am Saana Koljonen, a former professional volleyball player and national team player from Finland whose dreams in sports were crushed unexpectedly due to a nasty bacterial infection. Since then, I turned into an entrepreneur and now I help athletes, teams, and coaches to create next level mental strength by amplifying their authentic self through assessments, online courses, and coaching. I saw too many athletes suffering from the limits they put on themselves, fear of not being enough or failing, or never being satisfied with their level. I knew there was a much better way and I knew I wanted to be a part of that solution and help the “past versions of myself.” Yep, that was me too.
I learned how much mindset training can do and developed a mindset that boosted my performance and wellbeing! “Knowing yourself” isn’t as sexy as “get 6-pack abs overnight” type of quick-win promise, but if you want to become a better athlete, it is an essential part of the work that can transform your worries into confidence, freedom, and joy in competition and in life. Happy person, happy athlete. Read more at my blog, check out my free resources, and what the assessments and courses look like! (Psst…They are really cool!) You can read more about Saana on her website, connecting with her on Instagram or Facebook!
