Gene and Elaine Williams, a married couple with a history in college sports, founded Athletes Untapped to simplify how families connect with private coaches. After enjoying their own experiences as private coaches, they realized there was no easy way for coaches to expand their business reach. This inspired them to create AU, a platform designed to connect young athletes with high-quality coaching while helping coaches grow. With a mission to improve the trajectory of young athletes, Gene and Elaine blend their expertise in sports and technology to make impactful coaching widely accessible.
Private soccer training plays a pivotal role in developing young athletes by focusing on key elements of the game like footwork, ball skills, and fitness. Through private and group lessons, Athletes Untapped coaches help players enhance their coordination and quickness, forming a strong foundation for overall gameplay. Our coaches can teach players to read the field, anticipate plays, and make smart decisions - transforming them into well-rounded athletes. Our platform hosts thousands of coaches who’ve played at the highest levels, and most tell us they trained with a private coach in their younger days to develop their game. No matter what your soccer goals are, lessons with an Athletes Untapped coach can help you achieve them!
The coaches at AU are highly skilled professionals with a passion for the game and a dedication to helping players reach their full potential. Their extensive experience allows them to understand your unique challenges and develop personalized strategies to address them. Whether it’s honing your physical skills, improving your mental game, or building confidence, our coaches are focused on your growth and 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!!”
