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.
Basketball training with a well-rounded approach for dribbling, shooting, and mental toughness can help athletes reach their full potential. That’s why Athletes Untapped coaches emphasize technique and consistency during lessons, giving players the confidence needed to elevate their game. Just as important as the on-court skills, our coaches preach mental toughness to equip athletes with the tools needed to overcome obstacles during the season - and as former college/pro athletes, our team knows how crucial this can be. By focusing on every aspect of the game, our coaches will set you up for success - both on and off the court!
