The idea for Athletes Untapped came from Gene and Elaine Williams, a husband-and-wife duo who share a love for sports and coaching. Both college athletes turned private coaches, they recognized the potential of private training to inspire young athletes. However, they also noticed the lack of a platform to help coaches grow their businesses. AU fills that gap, connecting families with trustworthy coaches for in-person sessions. Leveraging their expertise in technology and coaching, Gene and Elaine are committed to helping young athletes achieve their dreams.
Athletes Untapped pickleball coaching focuses on mastering dinking, positioning, and technique.

Players leave lessons feeling more confident and prepared to enjoy the sport to its fullest.

From skill development to building mental resilience and confidence, our coaches are fully invested in 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!!”
