Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, Travis Kelce, has openly admitted that his slow start to the season has been attributable to his own performance. During an episode of the "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce took responsibility for his subpar performance and expressed his determination to address the issue.

Kelce's season stats so far have been below his usual standards, with only four catches for 39 yards in the Chiefs' first two games. Known for his exceptional pass-catching abilities, the 35-year-old Kelce had a streak of seven consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, a record that came to an end last year when he chose to sit out the final regular-season game after the Chiefs had secured their playoff spot.

Understanding the intricacies of the game, Kelce highlighted the factors that need to align for receivers to have a significant impact on the field. "If you want to catch the football," he explained, "it has to be the right play, the right coverage, and everyone on the team needs to do their job effectively, both upfront and in running their routes."

However, Kelce acknowledged that, for some reason, the past two games haven't followed this desired script for him. Instead of becoming frustrated, as he has in the past, Kelce has chosen to remain composed and focus on finding solutions to improve his performance. He no longer wants to let disappointment cloud his judgment on the field.

In an effort to better understand the areas that need attention, Kelce questioned whether he needs to speed up his routes or identify other issues that may be hampering his success. His commitment to playing at an elite level drives him to find ways to improve rather than accepting mediocrity.

Kelce's dedication to self-improvement comes as no surprise to his teammates and coaches, as he has consistently shown a passion and drive for excellence throughout his career. Previously, during Super Bowl LVIII in February, Kelce's frustration boiled over, resulting in a heated exchange with head coach Andy Reid. However, Kelce claimed that such incidents wouldn't repeat this time, emphasizing his newfound perspective and focus on personal growth.

As the Chiefs prepare for their upcoming games, Travis Kelce's determination to bounce back from a slow start sends a message to fans and opponents alike. With his extensive experience and proven track record, it's only a matter of time before Kelce returns to form and makes a significant impact on the field once again.
