Olympic rower Justin Best and his U.S. men’s rowing team secured a historic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, marking Team USA’s first victory in the men’s four race in 64 years. Best attributed part of their success to the motivational speech given by Jason Kelce during the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl win in 2018.
Best mentioned that watching Kelce's speech with his girlfriend before the race helped him channel the underdog mentality and get pumped up for the competition. Kelce's iconic words about being underdogs and hungry dogs resonated with Best and his teammates, inspiring them to give their all on the water.
