Gene and Elaine Williams, both college sports alumni and dedicated private coaches, founded Athletes Untapped to connect families with trusted private trainers for one-on-one coaching. After enjoying years of coaching themselves, they realized a tool to help coaches scale—like Airbnb for rentals—was missing. Drawing on their passion for sports and tech, they launched AU to fill that gap. Their goal is to help millions of young athletes thrive by providing easy access to impactful coaching that shapes not just skills but also future opportunities.
Ice hockey training can help players stand out on the ice. That’s why Athletes Untapped coaches focus on skating skills, shooting, and agility - teaching players how to maneuver around opponents and play with confidence. Equally important though is puck handling - dedicated practice enhances control and passing, ensuring players can maintain possession and create scoring opportunities. By incorporating these elements into private and group lessons, ice hockey players can elevate their game, boost their confidence, and be well-prepared for the challenges they’ll face on the ice.
At AU, our coaches are leaders in the industry, with years of experience and a deep love for the sport. They understand the unique challenges athletes face and provide personalized training to help you overcome them. Whether you need to develop skills, sharpen your focus, or build confidence, our coaches are here to ensure 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!!”
