Olympic Gold Medalist (Jamie Anderson) Points to a Nas Song as Inspiration Behind Win

Jamie Anderson, a Gold Medal winner at the ongoing winter Olympics points to a Nas song as inspiration behind her win. During her recent interview on ABC, she was asked about her source of inspiration, and she said...

"It's Nas 'I Can.' It's just a very inspirational song to truly believe in yourself and know that you're capable of anything. If you work hard at it, you can. It's the truth." 

Jamie Anderson is a snowboarder, and that was the sport in which she won a Gold medal for at The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. It's nice to know that a Hip Hop song can actually inspire someone to do something positive. I wonder how she found the song, or if she heard it when it first came out. That song is 12 years old, and I don't think it still gets a lot of spins on radio. It really is an inspirational song, with enlightening lyrics. Check out some lyrics from the song below-

I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)

You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
But nothing comes easy it takes much practice...
