How it all started…
The Challenge
Our first solo project was to create an app related to Wellness. As a sport passionate I decided to dig into sports and, what do sport-lovers need?
Research
Interview’s
I first interviewed 8 people that I know are sport passionates to find out what were their habits. They also told me that…
6/8 “ I prefer to work out Monday to Friday”
5/8 “I train after work, late at night”
8/8 “ I do sport to keep fit”
5/8 “ Don’t know people with the same sport level”
6/8 “ Don’t mind the age when playing with someone but the level so that they don’t feel they’re wasting their time
After gathering all the findings I built an affinity diagram so that I could cluster all the given data by patterns and relations.

From all the topics on the table, I decided to tackle the following: Sport partnering, Availability to meet and Learning sports.
Survey findings
After having some idea of what the main pain points were and understanding a bit of the mindset of sports passionates I surveyed 60 people and found out that:
80% people prefer to play sports Monday-Friday
63% prefer to play with people with similar skills level
50% don’t know people that play/practice their same sport
Definition: Problem statement and target users.
Problem Statement
With all this data I defined the problem statement as it follows:
“People who love sports
need to find a way to connect with others with similar sport skills
because they like sharing their passion”
And who could be having this problem?
User Persona
I then defined Mark as my user persona;

To better understand Mark’s feelings, thoughts and goals I developed this journey regarding “Playing tennis after work” to see possible touch points were I could improve the journey.

based on this journey I discovered that the main pain points were; finding someone to play with with and not only that, finding someone with the same level of expertise so that he didn’t feel as he was wasting his time.
3rd: IDEATION
Having this in mind I started my competitive analysis to see what I could learn from them and also what features could be interesting to then come up with 3 main features for my product.


With this top 3 features I started prototyping;
Prototype



Test
After testing the prototype and before developing the high-def version of it I discovered I had to solve 3 main aspects:
- Map view missing info
- Improve commitment
- Improve reliability in terms of level of expertise by including rating between players after every match.


Having this in mind I first defined the brand attributes, mood board and style tile.

Future steps;
For the future and in order to monetize the app. I would like to developed a premium version of it, giving “ expert-users” the possibility to teach and any user to learn from them.
Many thanks for your time!! ❤
