Founded by Gene and Elaine Williams, Athletes Untapped connects families with trusted private coaches for personalized, face-to-face training. As former college athletes and private coaches, Gene and Elaine realized the potential of private coaching to shape young athletes’ futures. Seeing a gap in the market for a coach-centric platform—similar to Airbnb for rentals—they launched AU. Their vision is to help millions of young athletes succeed by combining their deep knowledge of sports with innovative technology, making private coaching accessible and impactful for all.
Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports, but for beginners, mastering the game can be challenging. Private lessons with an Athletes Untapped coach focus on essential skills like technique, positioning, and dinking. Special attention is given to touch and placement during dinks to create scoring opportunities. Court positioning is also emphasized to help players anticipate shots and react with precision.
At Athletes Untapped, our coaches combine years of hands-on experience with a genuine passion for helping athletes excel. They understand the unique challenges you face and tailor their approach to meet your needs. Whether it’s mastering the mental aspects of the game or enhancing your physical performance, our coaches are here to empower you every step of the way.
“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!!”
