The inspiration for Gavin’s project stemmed from a problem. He knew that he wanted to play baseball after high school, but wasn’t yet “in shape” to do so.

As a result, Gavin created his personal brand “gavinmclennanfitness” as a pathway to pursue his dream of playing college baseball. Part of creating his brand included starting the Instagram account “@gavinmclennanfitness” to display his progress and information that he found useful on his journey. Throughout the semester, Gavin conducted extensive research on the most effective (and safe) practices and developed a workout routine and nutrition plan for himself. After following his workout plan every day and making a wide range of healthy meals, Gavin began to see gradual changes in his physique as well as his overall strength and mobility. Gavin understands that his project is not complete, nor will it be for a long time. Gavin used his time in Propel to build a strong base for himself to continue making progress towards playing college baseball and turning his dreams into reality.
