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.
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!”
