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 recently took the sports world by storm, but learning how to play can be difficult for newcomers. Training with an Athletes Untapped pickleball coach will help you understand technique, positioning, dinking, and much more. Mastering the dink is crucial for creating opportunities and keeping opponents on their toes, so instructors focus on refining touch and placement. Equally important is understanding court positioning - knowing where to stand helps players anticipate shots and react effectively. By honing these skills in private or small group lessons, pickleball players can enhance their play, boost their confidence, and truly enjoy the competitive spirit of the sport.
