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.
Pickleball recently took the sports world by storm, but learning how to play can be difficult for newcomers. Training with an Athletes Untapped pickleball coach will help you understand technique, positioning, dinking, and much more. Mastering the dink is crucial for creating opportunities and keeping opponents on their toes, so instructors focus on refining touch and placement. Equally important is understanding court positioning - knowing where to stand helps players anticipate shots and react effectively. By honing these skills in private or small group lessons, pickleball players can enhance their play, boost their confidence, and truly enjoy the competitive spirit of the sport.
