I always think I can do better, says Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce has confessed to being self-critical

Travis Kelce thinks he could've done better on 'Grotesquerie'.

The 35-year-old sports star recently appeared in the horror drama series, and Travis has admitted to watching his own performance with a critical eye.

The NFL star - who has also hosted the quiz show 'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' - said on his 'New Heights' podcast: "I was definitely watching myself, but it's the same thing with, like, my view on football or really anything that I do. Even like the game show that I did on Amazon, I look at myself, and I'm like, 'Man, I could've did that better, I could've did this better, I could've did this better.'

"I just always have this mentality of, like, wanting to do things better than what I did on camera or what I've done in the past."

Travis previously admitted that he used to "lose [his] cool a lot of the time" when he under-performed on the football field.

The Kansas City Chiefs star also explained how his on-field mentality has evolved over the years.

He said on the 'New Heights' podcast: "I stopped caring about stats about four or five years ago.

"I just went out there and started to play free and play for my guys. Sure enough, I think that’s the better mentality. You think about it more play by play and what your job is on that specific play."

Travis made a relatively modest start to the current NFL season - but he's now much more philosophical about his own performances.

Travis - who is dating pop star Taylor Swift - said: "I used to get really, really p***** off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing I demand that out of myself.

"I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s tough for me to deal with me being mediocre or having stats that represent that."
