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.
Private soccer training plays a pivotal role in developing young athletes by focusing on key elements of the game like footwork, ball skills, and fitness. Through private and group lessons, Athletes Untapped coaches help players enhance their coordination and quickness, forming a strong foundation for overall gameplay. Our coaches can teach players to read the field, anticipate plays, and make smart decisions - transforming them into well-rounded athletes. Our platform hosts thousands of coaches who’ve played at the highest levels, and most tell us they trained with a private coach in their younger days to develop their game. No matter what your soccer goals are, lessons with an Athletes Untapped coach can help you achieve them!
“My son has had 2 soccer lessons and loves it already! He develped a rapport almost immediately. I can already see how much value this will add to my son’s game.”
“My son just finished his first session with I was blown away. He brought enthusiasm and encouragement while teaching the game. My son had well over 1,000 touches in the one hour session. We can’t wait to continue soccer training.”
“My daughter felt so comfortable right away and had the best time. She said ‘that was so much fun’ at least ten times on the ride home. I was reading in my car but would look up now and then and it was almost like my daughter improved over the hour! We are really looking forward to booking a bunch more soccer lessons!”

“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. “
” 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. She was able to make a significant change in my boys dribbling technique in the first session. Highly recommend!!”
