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.
Our basketball coaching program emphasizes a holistic approach to dribbling, shooting, and mental toughness. Athletes Untapped coaches, many of whom are former college/pro players, focus on technique and consistency to boost confidence. By instilling mental toughness, they prepare athletes to excel both on and off the court, helping them achieve their goals.
