From College Baseball to #IWANTABZ: Michael’s Story of Consistency

Michael is proof that consistency beats everything… excuses, cravings, and comfort.

“I knew there were going to be days where I wanted to sleep in, skip the gym, or eat out. But consistency was key.” That simple mindset carried him through the 2025 #IWANTABZ Contest, where he dropped 22.4 pounds and earned a Top 25 finish.

For Michael, the contest was more than a transformation challenge. It was a reminder of what competition feels like. After stepping away from baseball three years ago, he missed that edge — the drive to show up and push harder. #IWANTABZ gave him that spark back.
