While training camp is typically seen as one of the more grueling and difficult experiences for an NFL player, it sounds like Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is embracing that grind.
During a recent interview, Travis Kelce made it clear that he actually enjoys the “grueling” nature of training camp and has been excited to begin the preseason work for quite a while now.
“This is my sanctuary,” Kelce said according to ESPN. “St. Joe, Year 12. That means I’ve spent just about an entire year of my life up here in the dorms. Everybody may say that is pretty grueling, but I enjoy it. There’s something about this place to get you ready every single year, and I’m not going to lie, I got pretty excited as the time started counting down to get out here and get this thing rolling.
“This is where it all starts. You can say it starts in the offseason, and yeah, you want to get that foundation set in the offseason of the leadership and the mentality and things like that. But at the end of the day, this is where you really find out what the team is made of, how you sharpen the iron, how your guys practice your practice habits, the attention to detail, and nobody does it better than Coach [Andy] Reid.”
Kelce and the Chiefs will be trying to defend their Super Bowl title once again this season as they look to become the first team in the history of the league to win the Super Bowl three consecutive times. And it all starts in training camp.
