Travis Kelce’s trainer discusses his challenges, while certain fans point fingers at Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelce’s trainer, Andrew Spruill, refutes the blame on Taylor Swift for Kelce’s challenges. Some media pundits had implicated Swift for Kelce’s struggles, but Spruill dismisses this as “ludicrous.” Instead, he attributes the star tight end’s difficulties to health issues, notably a knee hyperextension two days before the season opener, causing him to miss the first game. Although there were concerns about a season-long absence, Kelce returned after sitting out Week 1. Spruill emphasizes Kelce’s generally good health throughout his NFL career, except for his rookie year. He points out that injuries, a new offensive system, and the team’s receiving corps have affected Kelce’s anticipated production.
Kelce, 34, has not surpassed 100 receiving yards since October 22 and has only scored once in his last eight games. Over the past two games, he has accumulated just 72 receiving yards. Regardless of the outcome of this year in Kansas City, Kelce is expected to focus on offseason training while managing his relationship with Swift.
Andrew Spruill emphasizes that elite athletes like Kelce remain humble during training, adopting a mindset of continuous learning. Despite their exceptional skills, these athletes remain receptive in the gym, attentively listening, taking notes, and seeking coaching. This coachability, combined with their athletic prowess, forms the perfect recipe for creating great players.
