environmentalist, NFL linebacker
Dhani Jones embarks on a global
sports odyssey in Travel Channel’s
new original series,
DHANI
TACKLES THE GLOBEpremiered
on Monday, March 16 at 9 PM.
Each week Dhani is traveling to a
new destination. By actively participating in some of
the most beloved national pastimes
from around the world, Dhani
discovers that sports have the
universal ability to open a window
into a culture; define a
destination; and unlock a common
passion in people that is as
different as it is familiar.
Tapping into his athletic prowess,
Dhani experiences the thrills and
challenges of each game by playing
it himself. In each episode, he
tries his hand at a new sport
including Rugby in England, Muay
Thai in Bangkok, Thailand, Hurling
in Ireland, Dragon Boat racing in
Singapore, Schwingen in Switzerland,
Pelota in Spain, Sailing in New
Zealand and the Surf Lifeguard
competition in Australia.
Floundering at times and triumphing
at others, he throws himself
completely into the team and
individual competitions he faces.
Off
the field, with the help of his
adopted teammates and coaches, Dhani
immerses himself fully in each
locale’s sights and sounds, getting
the locals’ take on the best places
for any traveler to eat, imbibe,
shop, and stay. Throughout his
travels, he finds that the love for
sports and competition is shared
internationally, providing an
immediate common ground wherever he
lands.
