Jason Kelce's wife Kylie announces major career move as ex Eagle star prepares for ESPN debut
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As Jason Kelce embarks on a new career in broadcasting, his wife, Kylie Kelce, is also making headlines with her return to field hockey coaching.
Kylie, who is set to return as the varsity field hockey coach at Lower Merion High School, is excited to impact young athletes' lives. Meanwhile, Jason is transitioning from the NFL to co-hosting ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
Kylie Kelce shares details on her return to hockey coaching
Kylie Kelce has announced an exciting new career development! At 32, and married to NFL star Jason Kelce since 2018, she is returning to her field hockey roots.
She will resume her role as the varsity field hockey coach at Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia, as per DailyMail.
"I think one of the most important things in being specifically a high school coach and a public high school coach, is that we get a wide range of athletes," Kylie said. "Some people will decide to go on to play Division I. Other people won't play past their senior year — they're really there to just enjoy the sport and enjoy time with their friends. In our situation, all are welcome."
Kylie’s upcoming season will mark her eighth consecutive year coaching the Lower Merion Aces. She previously played Division III field hockey at Cabrini University.
"I think team sports help mold people to be able to work together," she added. "Even for the people who don't choose to play after high school, they still get to take that away. So we want them to be more confident when they leave. We want them to be able to work with a team, whether that's athletically or in a workplace or in a classroom."
Kylie, who has three children with Jason—Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 18 months—believes that sports teams foster a sense of family.
"You don't have to like them, but you do have to love and respect them," she emphasized. "And those are all things that I think moving forward in life are really important. They make you a better, more well-rounded person and more prepared for the world after high school."

One netizen said, "Absolutely loved reading this. She will make an excellent coach and and she seems to be very grounded."

Jason Kelce prepares for his broadcasting role
As Kylie Kelce prepares for her coaching role, Jason Kelce is making the transition from the football field to the broadcasting booth.
The Philadelphia Eagles icon is starting a new chapter after announcing his NFL retirement in March, following a 13-year career.
He will join ESPN’s 'Monday Night Countdown' as a co-host—a role Kylie feels is a perfect fit for him.
"I am mostly excited to see Jason excel in a new position," Kylie said of his broadcasting role. "I jokingly say it's a pain in the b**t that he's good at everything, and I know I'm biased in that, but I truly believe he's good at everything because even if he's not good at the start or the best at the start, he will work endlessly and tirelessly until he can achieve that."
