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.
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.
