Private Sports Coach | Athletes Untapped | Handshake
Share Your Passion, Coach on Your Terms. Athletes Untapped is the nation’s #1 platform for private sports coaching. Think of us like Airbnb or Rover - we help you connect with local athletes, while handling scheduling/ops, so you can focus on what you do best: coaching! We offer a flexible way to earn extra income or expand your client base, with coaches setting their own rates, schedules, and training locations. Wherever you’re based across the country, we’ll help you find local athletes and grow (or start) your coaching business. This role is perfect for current/former college and pro athletes, college/high school/club coaches, and experienced private trainers. It’s also a great fit for anyone with a strong sports background who loves working with kids and wants to make a difference through elite 1:1 coaching. What You’ll Do
- Run 1:1 and small group lessons in your primary sport - from beginner to advanced levels
- Set your own rates (typically ranges anywhere from $30–$100/hour)
- Choose your availability and training location (parks, fields, courts, indoor, etc.)
- Use our platform tools for all communication, scheduling, and payments
- Build long-term relationships with athletes and families
- Commit to being active on the platform for at least 12 months (it can take a few weeks for new coaches to gain real traction - success doesn't happen overnight!)
