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.
Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports, but for beginners, mastering the game can be challenging. Private lessons with an Athletes Untapped coach focus on essential skills like technique, positioning, and dinking. Special attention is given to touch and placement during dinks to create scoring opportunities. Court positioning is also emphasized to help players anticipate shots and react with precision.
“Coach turned me into a confident pickleball player in just a few weeks! His clear instructions and focus on footwork and strategy made all the difference. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone looking to improve!”
“I elevated my game with personalized tips and challenging drills. My serve and dinks are much stronger now. Great lessons for anyone wanting to improve their pickleball technique!”
“Private pickleball lessons were a game-changer. We worked on my strokes, court awareness, and mental game. I’m feeling way more confident on the court now!”
