Gene and Elaine Williams founded Athletes Untapped to link aspiring athletes with vetted private coaches for one-on-one training. As former college athletes and private coaches, they loved mentoring kids but noticed a lack of tools for coaches to grow their reach. Inspired by platforms like Airbnb and Rover, they built AU to empower coaches and transform young athletes’ lives. Backed by their experience in tech and sports, Gene and Elaine aim to expand access to impactful coaching that helps young athletes excel both on and off the field.
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!
The coaches at AU are highly skilled professionals with a passion for the game and a dedication to helping players reach their full potential. Their extensive experience allows them to understand your unique challenges and develop personalized strategies to address them. Whether it’s honing your physical skills, improving your mental game, or building confidence, our coaches are focused on your growth and 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!!”
