Why We Created Athletes Untapped

Private Basketball Coaches in Santa Ana, CA

Santa Ana is located in the heart of Orange County, California. With its exceptionally diverse population and appealing environment, this city serves as a favorable area to live in the state of California. Basketball is a very common practice in Santa Ana, whether it be as a part of organizations such as Team Quachro Basketball, EZ Buckets Basketball Training, etc., or at the city’s abundance of local basketball courts. Santa Ana’s youth basketball population is booming with talent, which is why we are excited to introduce our private trainers to this city and spread their expertise.

Company Overview in Santa Ana, CA

Athletes Untapped connects parents/kids with vetted private sports 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 & 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 elite coaching.

Private Basketball Coaching in Santa Ana, CA

Private training is one of the best ways to improve your game. Your private coach will develop an individualized training program that’s aligned with your current skills and future goals, on and off the court. Your AU trainer will watch you play, analyze your performance, and design a custom training program. With our easy scheduling and communication system, you’ll work with your coach on your program and steadily improve your game.

For youth and adults alike, private basketball coaching can foster a true love of the game through rewarding practice and skill development. With personal, 1 on 1 coaching, youth players will develop fundamental skills in dribbling, passing, and shooting at their own pace, which isn’t always realistic during team practice sessions. Private basketball coaching can mean the difference between mediocrity and excellence. 

Defensive strategy, offensive plays, footwork, rebounding, and even jumping can be improved by working with an AU-vetted trainer. It can all be done at a time that is convenient for you, too, making it that much easier to succeed. 

Experienced Basketball Coaches in Santa Ana, CA

The basketball coaches who work with us here at AU are some of the best in the industry. Each has extensive experience and is passionate about the game and helping players improve. Their experience gives them deeper insights into your training needs and allows them to fully understand your challenges and how to overcome them. From improving on-the-court physical and mental skills to increasing your confidence in your abilities, our experienced basketball coaches are committed to your success. 

Personal Basketball Training Programs in Santa Ana, CA

Basketball training programs need to be customized for individual players. This is true for both youth and adults. Unfortunately, sometimes both players will find themselves in situations where they are just one member of a larger team, where coaching is focused on the group more than the individual. That can leave them without the 1 on 1 attention and support they need to turn their weaknesses into strengths. 

When you work with a personal trainer at AU, you get 1 on 1 coaching that is custom for your needs. If you have trouble with your dribble, for example, your 1 on 1 training program will likely focus on developing techniques to improve that skill. Training is personal, and every AU trainer designs their programs based on where you are and where you want to go.

We also provide the option to upload videos of your training sessions so that your coach can see how you are moving and playing. They will analyze the footage and develop a basketball coaching program specifically for you. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, you get 1 on 1 coaching that is perfect for your unique requirements.

Basketball Coaching- Agility Specific in Santa Ana, CA

Our personal basketball coaches are experts at helping players improve strength, skills, speed, and agility on the court. They use a wide variety of drills and tactics that can help both youth and adults get real improvements. For instance, they might ask you to do a 10-in-1 drill or take you through a 30-yard sprint where you strive to reach maximum acceleration and speed. These drills can help you gain speed in a straight-ahead direction so you can push through your perceived limitations.

For agility, the trainer might take you through agility ladder drills or a T-drill, where you sprint around cones in a specific pattern. There are multiple different patterns the trainer can design using cones to mimic the players you might need to maneuver around during an actual game.

Benefits of a Personal Basketball Trainer in Santa Ana, CA

In basketball, one of the skills that is important to perfect is the free throw. It can be hard to a coach to set aside time at a group practice for free throws. It’s tough to stand at the free-throw line with all eyes on you. That’s why only a few people can do it perfectly. While you don’t have to compete with the pros, it makes sense to want to improve your free throw percentage. The better you get, the better for you and your team.

A trainer can look at your free throws and tell you exactly how to improve. That might mean refining your shot, embracing repetition, or using specific drills to increase your success percentage. It all depends on the player! 

If you want to get better at free throws or any other aspect of basketball, find your perfect trainer with Athletes Untapped today.
