Athletes Untapped is the go-to platform for connecting young athletes with professional private coaches for tailored, in-person training. Created by Gene and Elaine Williams, former collegiate athletes and private coaches themselves, the platform was born out of their love for the game and a desire to help coaches scale their businesses. Inspired by platforms like Airbnb, AU simplifies the process of finding quality coaching while supporting young athletes' growth. Gene and Elaine’s commitment to sports and tech drives their mission to make private coaching accessible and impactful for families everywhere.
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!

“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!!”
