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.
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.
