Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce revealed how sports helped boost his self-esteem while struggling in school.
In an exclusive interview with People, Kelce, 33, said sports gave him “a lot of confidence.”
“I wasn’t the best student in terms of reading and doing math and everything,” he explained.
The Super Bowl champ recalled excelling “on the field and on the court,” which helped him become “much more confident” in who he was.
“Being able to just get onto the field or an event where I know I have a lot of confidence, like football, basketball, or baseball, that fueled me,” he continued.

After 10 seasons in the NFL, Kelce said, “My confidence definitely built more as my career has excelled, without a doubt.”
He also referred to himself as a “sports fiend.”
He shared:
“I’m a sports fanatic. I absolutely love just throwing on ESPN or the NHL. I’ll always pop a MLB game on; I’m a huge Cleveland Guardians fan. And obviously, the NBA is one of the most fun things to watch. So I’m all over the place, really. You can catch me watching anything.”
