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.
At Athletes Untapped, we deliver basketball training with a complete focus on dribbling, shooting, and mental toughness. Our coaches, many of whom are former college/pro athletes, understand the value of mastering technique while building confidence. By teaching consistency and resilience, we prepare athletes to face obstacles and achieve success both during the season and beyond.
The AU coaching team features some of the most experienced and enthusiastic professionals in the field. They are committed to understanding your challenges and crafting solutions to help you improve. From skill development to confidence building, our coaches focus on equipping you with the tools needed to succeed in your athletic journey.
“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!!”
