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.
Through private soccer training, Athletes Untapped coaches focus on building skills like footwork, ball control, and overall fitness. With a tailored approach, players learn to anticipate plays, improve decision-making, and develop their game. Many of our experienced coaches credit private lessons in their youth for shaping their careers, and they bring that same dedication to helping athletes achieve their soccer goals.
“My son has had 2 soccer lessons and loves it already! He develped a rapport almost immediately. I can already see how much value this will add to my son’s game.”
“My son just finished his first session with I was blown away. He brought enthusiasm and encouragement while teaching the game. My son had well over 1,000 touches in the one hour session. We can’t wait to continue soccer training.”
“My daughter felt so comfortable right away and had the best time. She said ‘that was so much fun’ at least ten times on the ride home. I was reading in my car but would look up now and then and it was almost like my daughter improved over the hour! We are really looking forward to booking a bunch more soccer lessons!”
