Concealing the Titan: Inside Jason Kelce’s Pre-Game Battle Rites

The Legendary Rivalry of the Kelce Brothers

While Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are both highly accomplished NFL players in their own right, most football fans are familiar with their legendary rivalry as brothers off the field. Their sibling battles have become the stuff of sports lore, with epic showdowns on the basketball court and elsewhere. But beyond just the highlights we’ve seen, what fuels this rivalry between the Kelce brothers and how do they prepare themselves for battle? To understand the root of their competitiveness, we have to go back to their upbringing.

Jason and Travis grew up in a competitive household in Cleveland, Ohio. Their father, Ed, was a three-sport high school athlete and their mother also played sports. From a young age, their parents instilled strong work ethic and competitive fire in both boys. “Our parents always pushed us to be the best we could be,” Jason recalled. Whether it was football, basketball, or just about any other sport or game, the Kelce brothers were always trying to one-up each other. Their dad would often pit them against each other just to bring out the best in their play.
