Gene and Elaine Williams, both college sports alumni and dedicated private coaches, founded Athletes Untapped to connect families with trusted private trainers for one-on-one coaching. After enjoying years of coaching themselves, they realized a tool to help coaches scale—like Airbnb for rentals—was missing. Drawing on their passion for sports and tech, they launched AU to fill that gap. Their goal is to help millions of young athletes thrive by providing easy access to impactful coaching that shapes not just skills but also future opportunities.
Golf is arguably the sport where private or group lessons can make the biggest impact. That’s why Athletes Untapped coaches teach key aspects of the game like swing technique, putting, and situational awareness. Mastering swing technique is crucial, as it lays the foundation for consistent ball striking and distance control. During private and small group lessons, our coaches provide personalized feedback to help players refine their stance, grip, and follow-through - making their swings more effective. Just as important though is learning the short game, mainly chipping and putting - skills that can significantly impact a player’s score. By dedicating time to both swing technique and the short game in their lessons, golfers can elevate their performance on the course, build confidence, and enjoy the game even more.
