When Gene and Elaine Williams transitioned from college athletes to private coaching, they discovered a new passion for developing young talent. Seeing the lack of a centralized platform to support private coaching businesses, they created Athletes Untapped. This innovative service pairs young athletes with experienced, verified coaches for in-person training. Modeled after platforms like Airbnb, AU aims to simplify business growth for coaches while ensuring transformative experiences for athletes.
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.
The coaches at Athletes Untapped stand out as some of the most skilled and passionate in the industry. With years of experience, they understand the challenges athletes face and provide the guidance needed to overcome them. Whether it's refining technical skills, sharpening mental focus, or boosting confidence, they’re here to help you excel.
“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!!”
