Claire Kittle is embracing a positive mindset as she prepares to transition into 2026, holding onto a personal goal she established in 2025. In a recent interview with People magazine, just before the New Year, she discussed her ongoing journey of self-growth and her endeavors beyond the sidelines.
Kittle, the wife of San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, mentioned her partnership with Smirnoff’s “We Do Game Days” campaign, where she highlighted themes of growth, overcoming fear, and the importance of saying yes to new opportunities. “I think I’ve been doing a pretty good job of just trying to say yes to more opportunities,” she stated, reflecting on her commitment to push through fear and comfort zones.
In her pursuit of growth, Claire emphasized that stepping outside one’s comfort zone often begins with discomfort. This mindset, which she first adopted during the 2024 NFL season, has now become integral to her life as she approaches 2026 with renewed determination. Throughout 2025, she also launched a digital series that showcases behind-the-scenes insights for NFL partners, collaborating with Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of Kyle Juszczyk, to illustrate authentic moments from game days and travel experiences.
As the San Francisco 49ers enjoy a successful season with 12 victories and prepare for their next game against the Seattle Seahawks, Claire is also celebrating personal milestones. Recently, she shared an emotional post on Instagram reflecting on her experiences attending games in various NFL stadiums, calling them a dream come true filled with lasting memories.
With a focus on growth and positivity, Claire Kittle continues to inspire many as she steps into the new year, ready to embrace whatever opportunities come her way.
