Athletes Untapped connects parents/kids with vetted private coaches for in-person training. The platform was created by Gene & Elaine Williams - a married couple who both played college sports. Once their playing days ended, they started private coaching to stay involved with the game and earn extra income - and they loved it! Realizing there wasn't a go-to platform meant to help private coaches scale their business - like Airbnb does with rentals or Rover for dog walkers - Gene & Elaine decided to build AU. They've seen the impact private coaching can make on a young athlete's life trajectory, so that's why they're using their backgrounds in tech & coaching to help millions of young athletes succeed through coaching.
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!”
