Meet the Founder

Coach Isaac Hess

At 19, Isaac underwent a total hip replacement, doctors told him his playing career was over. He didn't listen. He went on to pitch over 700 professional innings across 7 seasons, won 4 championships, made 2 all-star teams, and threw a no-hitter, becoming just the second player in history, after Bo Jackson, to return to professional baseball after a total hip replacement.

I created the MADE program, lifestyle, and mantra to remind us that every day counts and that we are responsible for shaping our own lives and achieving what we desire. The MADE mantra inspires us to cultivate the mindset, discipline, and strength needed to be champions, mentally, physically, and spiritually, throughout life’s journey. We’re excited to see you on the field and work with you and your player. #GetMADE

Still playing

Back in men's league since 2022: Los Angeles in 2022 and 2023, Savannah in 2025, Orlando in 2026. Not 2024, when I was the Party Animals' pitching coach.
