Athletes Untapped bridges the gap between young athletes and certified private coaches for personalized, face-to-face training. Founded by Gene and Elaine Williams, former college athletes and a passionate husband-and-wife duo, the platform grew out of their firsthand experience as private coaches. Their coaching journey inspired them to create a solution for other coaches to grow their businesses—similar to how Airbnb empowers property owners or Rover supports dog walkers. Leveraging their expertise in both sports and technology, Gene and Elaine aim to help countless young athletes unlock their full potential through high-quality coaching.
Basketball training with a well-rounded approach for dribbling, shooting, and mental toughness can help athletes reach their full potential. That’s why Athletes Untapped coaches emphasize technique and consistency during lessons, giving players the confidence needed to elevate their game. Just as important as the on-court skills, our coaches preach mental toughness to equip athletes with the tools needed to overcome obstacles during the season - and as former college/pro athletes, our team knows how crucial this can be. By focusing on every aspect of the game, our coaches will set you up for success - both on and off the court!
Our AU coaches are at the top of their game, with extensive experience and a genuine love for mentoring athletes. They understand the challenges players encounter and offer tailored guidance to overcome them. By focusing on technical improvement, mental strength, and confidence, they help pave the way for your success.
“Coach Soutiri encourages my son to go further than he normally would. It gives my son confidence, which we as parents try to do but doesn’t always work. I believe my son has developed the confidence he needed to play his favorite sport again. Thanks Coach Soutiri!”
“My son has been receiving baseball lessons with Jake for the last couple of months, and I couldn’t be happier. After each lesson, Jake sends a detailed report of everything he did during the lesson, including homework (baseball skills) for my son to work on and pertinent videos to show proper form for mastery. My son’s only prior experience was two years of little league baseball, but his confidence has changed drastically since working with Jake. I highly recommend Jake – he is hands down one of the best sports instructors I have ever encountered!”
“Alex is a phenomenal coach!! She immediately identified the things my boys needed to work on and made it fun for them. I personally like that she educates and also makes sure they execute skills properly and not just letting them slide. She was able to make a significant change in my boys dribbling technique in the first session. Highly recommend!!”
