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.
Athletes Untapped pickleball coaching focuses on mastering dinking, positioning, and technique. Coaches provide targeted lessons on touch and placement for better rally control, as well as strategic court positioning to anticipate shots effectively. Players leave lessons feeling more confident and prepared to enjoy the sport to its fullest.
Our AU coaches are at the top of their game, with extensive experience and a genuine love for mentoring athletes. They understand the challenges players encounter and offer tailored guidance to overcome them. By focusing on technical improvement, mental strength, and confidence, they help pave the way for 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!!”
