Travis Kelce has shared details about how he is his own toughest critic on the football field and will always be the first person to tell himself that he could have done better.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is gearing up for the new NFL season after a fun summer in which he has been back and forth from Europe to see Taylor Swift performing her Eras Tour, as well as hanging out with friends such as Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.

Travis Kelce shows love to Taylor Swift fan at Chiefs training camp

He is back at the pre-season training camp now and his mind has already switched to important sporting matters despite his exciting summer break.

During a press conference on Saturday, Kelce shared: “I’m my biggest critic. Nobody can tell me how bad I did on a play; I know it right away, as soon as the play is over. I know what I need to do to get better.”

Travis Kelce’s mentality

He elaborated on his mindset, saying: “You have to have that certain mentality. Always finding ways to get better, even when you have success on a play. That’s just how I’ve approached it, and I got that from [Coach Andy Reid], knowing that you can always do things better and make someone else’s job easier on the field.”

He also talked about his recent travels to support Swift on her Eras Tour.

“This is my sanctuary, baby,” Kelce said when talking about the university dorms that the Chiefs are currently staying in.

“St. Joe’s, year 12. That means I’ve spent about an entire year of my life up here in the dorms. Everybody may see it as grueling, but I enjoy it. There’s something about this place that gets you ready every single year, and I’m not gonna lie, I got pretty excited as the time started counting down to get out here and get this thing rolling.”
