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.
Our basketball training emphasizes dribbling, shooting, and mental toughness to help athletes excel. Athletes Untapped coaches focus on honing technique and consistency, boosting confidence and refining skills. Beyond the court, they prioritize mental toughness to help players overcome challenges. With firsthand experience as former college and pro athletes, our team knows the importance of a complete approach to training, preparing players for success in every aspect of the game.
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. “
” 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!!”
