Kylie Kelce is ready for a fall full of her new experiences after a fun summer with family.

Speaking with PEOPLE about her partnership with Dove — which celebrates busy women getting in moments of self-care and building confidence — the mom of three says time at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris has her excited for what’s ahead.

This fall marks the first that husband Jason Kelce will be at work off the field. After 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, the now-retired NFL star has joined ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown team.

“I am mostly excited to see Jason excel in a new position. I jokingly say it’s a pain in the butt 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. So, I have full faith that he’s going to tackle his new position and excel,” the proud wife tells PEOPLE.

“I’m really excited to get to watch him do that. And I think it’s such a shift from sort of physically exerting yourself to getting to sort of showcase your intellectual ability and the way that you analyze games,” Kylie, 32, continues. “He’s such an analytical person and so I think that this will be the perfect role for him on Monday night with ESPN. I’m really excited to watch him work.”

The fall brings school for the couple’s older two daughters, Elliotte, 3½, and Wyatt, 4½. They also share Bennett, 18 months. On top of her family’s schedule, Kylie returns to coaching field hockey at her local high school.

“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. Some people will decide to go on to play Division One. 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,” she explains.

Kylie welcomes the opportunity to help young athletes figure out what it is to be a team.

“I think, ultimately, team sports help mold people to be able to work together. And like the body confidence campaign with Dove, you get to show them positive body talk. You get to show them how their bodies and have strength and how that can be a positive attribute,” the athletic mom says.

“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 also is a big believer in “stressing the idea of your team as your family.”

“You don’t have to like them, but you do have to love and respect them. 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,” she notes.

Kylie adds, “All of the things that we focus on — yes, we focus on skill. Yes, we focus on endurance. We focus on all the things that could potentially help us win in field hockey, but ultimately, I’m trying to help them win at life. So all of those character-building opportunities are things that we focus on mostly.”

She brings that energy to the field straight from the Paris Games, where Kylie and Jason got to “see the shift in excitement” happening around women’s sports.

“Seeing these women get the attention and love that they deserve is amazing. When we were watching USA field hockey, we got to meet a large amount of the team afterward. Some of the girls I already know since nine of the girls on the team are PA girls. It’s so much fun to see,” she says.

“When we were there with field hockey, I got to run into two former Olympians for the USA field hockey team that I actually grew up watching. And it’s funny to have people introduce themselves and you’re like, ‘I know who you are,’ ” she continues.

Kylie and Jason enjoyed time in one of their favorite cities, sharing their love of sports while also celebrating the coming together of so many talented athletes.

“We also got to just randomly run into Aly Raisman, the former Olympic gymnast. We got to meet Ilona Maher and her family and a lot of the women’s rugby team. It’s so much fun to meet these women who are excelling in their sports or having excelled in their sports, who are role models to young women who are showing beauty and strength and sort of exactly what we talk about when we talk about body confidence in sport with Dove,” she says.

“They recognize what their body can do for them and how their body and their attributes actually work as a positive, and you don’t need to see them as a negative. Whether you’re tall, whether you’re muscular, whether you are, whatever, all of those things work in a positive way in sport and their attributes, in their athletic endeavor,” Kylie says, adding, “So, it’s so much fun to meet these women. It’s such an honor to spend time with them and pick their brains — every single one of them. I was just trying my best not to fangirl.”
