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.
Football coaching at Athletes Untapped emphasizes technique and mental toughness alongside physical fitness. Private lessons challenge players with realistic drills, helping them develop skills like tackling, passing, and footwork. Position-specific coaching ensures that athletes, from quarterbacks to special teams, get the focused attention they need to excel.
“If you or your child are serious at all about getting better at the QB position, you have a golden opportunity right in front of you. He blends the nuances of the position with many different drills that are both fun and challenging. We’ve covered so many things from footwork, ball placement, displacing the hip, and mesh technique. The best part, he’s an even better young man and is an inspiration for my son.”
“He is getting my 14 yr old ready for high school football. My son is hoping to be starting quarterback next season. They are working on footwork, mechanics, reading defense & speed & agility. Looking forward to continued training.”
“We just had our first session and I can’t say enough great things. My son is playing tackle for the first time as an offensive lineman and his session with Coach helped him tremendously. It’s hard to find a good offensive line coach and we feel fortunate to have found him.”
The coaches at AU are highly skilled professionals with a passion for the game and a dedication to helping players reach their full potential. Their extensive experience allows them to understand your unique challenges and develop personalized strategies to address them. Whether it’s honing your physical skills, improving your mental game, or building confidence, our coaches are focused on your growth and success.
