In the realm of sports, superstition holds significant sway for many.
Travis Kelce, in a recent episode of the ‘New Heights’ podcast, revealed his belief in the power of his long beard during football games. Growing it out during the Kansas City Chiefs’ journey to the Super Bowl, Kelce now finds himself contemplating what to do with it now that the season has concluded.
“I don’t know what I’m gonna do with this thing,” Kelce mused on a recent podcast episode, pondering his beard’s fate.
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce proposed the idea of Travis shaving the beard for charity, suggesting auctioning off his whiskers to raise funds for a noble cause.
While considering the proposal, Travis expressed reluctance, jokingly stating, “I might just shave it off, put it in a Ziploc bag, and keep it with all my other Super Bowl memorabilia.”

Reflecting on his journey, Kelce emphasized the importance of hard work and enjoying the process, echoing the sentiment that sometimes, the journey is as significant as the destination.
The beard seemed to work its magic for Kelce during the playoffs, where he showcased an electrifying performance. Catching 32 of 37 targets for 355 yards with three touchdowns in the Chiefs’ four postseason games, including their triumphant 25-22 overtime victory against the 49ers in the Super Bowl, Kelce’s playoff prowess has been instrumental in securing three Super Bowl rings for himself and the Chiefs.
Indeed, whether it’s a long beard or other superstitious rituals, athletes often find solace and inspiration in their unique practices as they navigate the challenges of their sport.
