Athletes Untapped connects parents/kids with vetted private coaches for in-person training. The platform was created by Gene & Elaine Williams - a married couple who both played college sports. Once their playing days ended, they started private coaching to stay involved with the game and earn extra income - and they loved it! Realizing there wasn't a go-to platform meant to help private coaches scale their business - like Airbnb does with rentals or Rover for dog walkers - Gene & Elaine decided to build AU. They've seen the impact private coaching can make on a young athlete's life trajectory, so that's why they're using their backgrounds in tech & coaching to help millions of young athletes succeed through coaching.
Football coaching at Athletes Untapped emphasizes technique and mental toughness alongside physical fitness. Private lessons challenge players with realistic drills, helping them develop skills like tackling, passing, and footwork. Position-specific coaching ensures that athletes, from quarterbacks to special teams, get the focused attention they need to excel.
“If you or your child are serious at all about getting better at the QB position, you have a golden opportunity right in front of you. He blends the nuances of the position with many different drills that are both fun and challenging. We’ve covered so many things from footwork, ball placement, displacing the hip, and mesh technique. The best part, he’s an even better young man and is an inspiration for my son.”
“He is getting my 14 yr old ready for high school football. My son is hoping to be starting quarterback next season. They are working on footwork, mechanics, reading defense & speed & agility. Looking forward to continued training.”
“We just had our first session and I can’t say enough great things. My son is playing tackle for the first time as an offensive lineman and his session with Coach helped him tremendously. It’s hard to find a good offensive line coach and we feel fortunate to have found him.”
The coaches partnering with AU are seasoned professionals with a passion for guiding athletes to their full potential. Their deep experience helps them identify your unique needs and craft personalized strategies to overcome obstacles. Whether it’s mastering game techniques or building confidence, they’re committed to helping you thrive.
