Gene and Elaine Williams, both college sports alumni and dedicated private coaches, founded Athletes Untapped to connect families with trusted private trainers for one-on-one coaching. After enjoying years of coaching themselves, they realized a tool to help coaches scale—like Airbnb for rentals—was missing. Drawing on their passion for sports and tech, they launched AU to fill that gap. Their goal is to help millions of young athletes thrive by providing easy access to impactful coaching that shapes not just skills but also future opportunities.
When it comes to baseball, the saying "technique always beats talent" rings particularly true, and private lessons can make all the difference. While raw talent can give a player a head start, it’s the fundamentals that ultimately determine success on the field. Focused private or small group baseball training allows athletes to develop essential skills - like hitting and bat speed, pitching and ball placement, or fielding and body control. By prioritizing technique and building confidence, Athletes Untapped coaches can help players transform their potential into achievement.
