Gene and Elaine Williams founded Athletes Untapped to link aspiring athletes with vetted private coaches for one-on-one training. As former college athletes and private coaches, they loved mentoring kids but noticed a lack of tools for coaches to grow their reach. Inspired by platforms like Airbnb and Rover, they built AU to empower coaches and transform young athletes’ lives. Backed by their experience in tech and sports, Gene and Elaine aim to expand access to impactful coaching that helps young athletes excel both on and off the field.
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!
“He motivated my son to really work on his basketball skills and gave him so many tools to improve his game. He’s also been a lot of fun for my son to work with – he’s friendly, outgoing, approachable and just a great coach!”
“I was just amazed at the way she elevated my daughter’s basketball skills and boosted her confidence!”
“My son has been taking basketball lessons for a few months now and we are so pleased with his progress and increased interest and understanding of the game. Coach is easy going and patient and offers a variety of drills to keep it interested! My son has become so much more confident!”
Our AU coaches are at the top of their game, with extensive experience and a genuine love for mentoring athletes. They understand the challenges players encounter and offer tailored guidance to overcome them. By focusing on technical improvement, mental strength, and confidence, they help pave the way for your success.
