Sami Reynolds

After completing my collegiate career at the University of Washington—five of the most memorable and formative years of my life—I quickly realized that my true passion was in coaching and giving back to the sport that shaped me.
In the two years since graduating, I’ve dreamed of creating something of my own—an opportunity to stay connected to the game and my people, while being present and accessible as a coach in the greater Northern Seattle area.
That dream recently became Up North: a business built to give back to the community that raised me. It’s more than just coaching—it’s about mentoring kids both on and off the field, helping them grow not only as athletes but as confident, kind, and resilient individuals.
welcome to revolutionized softball coaching.
At Up North we combine elite, age-appropriate instruction with transformational mindset coaching to help girls not only grow as athletes, but thrive as individuals. Whether she’s learning how to hold a bat or preparing for college recruiting, every athlete is met with intention, care, and a commitment to helping her realize just how powerful she really is.
Here, we go far beyond mechanics. We build grit, confidence, trust, and a deep connection between the body and the brain — because performance starts from within.
With Up North Academy our mission is to make softball coaching accessible and effective for athletes of all levels.
