What is your favorite sports?

Most people don’t realize that Luke Jickain is a serious sports person. The amazing part of Luke’s interest in sports is that he is not good in only a specific or one sport but to various. This article would explore what are those sports he enjoy and play of course. Many would say if you are the jack of trade it follows that you are a master of none, but this theory remains a theory especially for Luke Jickain because he is a national player of the flag football team known as the Pilipinas Aguilas which became his sport of mastery.

The first sports is Flag Football where Luke is part of the team Pilipinas Aguilas who will compete in Thailand this November 2014. Flag Football is a version of American football where the basic rules of the game are similar to those of the mainstream game (often called “tackle football” for contrast), but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier (“deflagging”) to end a down.

So what are you waiting for? Calendar the game of Pilipinas Aguilas.

Another football game Luke splash into is the original America Football. In 2012, the Philippine Punishers defeated Saipan Sharks which gave the Philippines a good break in this sports. Luke played American football for San Beda College for three years.

American football is played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field 120 yards long by 53.33 yards wide with goalposts at each end. The offense attempts to advance an oval ball (the football) down the field by running with or passing it. They must advance it at least ten yards in four downs to receive a new set of four downs and continue the drive; if not, they turn over the football to the opposing team. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.

 So that makes it two types of football for Luke Jickain.

One of Luke’s latest TV appearance was with the sports teleserye Beki Boxer of the Kapatid Network. Beki Boxer is a story of a gay boxer who make it to the top of the boxing career. Luke played as Dyanggo the villain in the teleserye (read also Luke Jickain, his other characters and Dyanggo? http://goo.gl/T9yQrp)

Unlike the two football sports, boxing is a famous sport for Filipinos and around the world, thus I do not need to explain how this sports is done. Luke become interested in boxing because of his role in Beki Boxer. As Dyanggo he needs to portray a role of a professional boxing player. He underwent a rigid training program at Elorde in Golds Gym. He made boxing as his alternate for his workout routine. So that explains his well-toned body.

Another prominent Philippine sports is basketball. Luke is not a professional basketball player. For him this is just a hobby and leisure. He usually meet with his college and high school friends to play basketball as a goodwill game. He also join celebrity organized basketball games in different part of the Philippines. One of the latest out-of-town game Luke  attended was in General Santos together with Derek Ramsay, Gerry Acao, & Joross Gamboa

6tag_220414-190155The last sport I know Luke has a bit of start but did not pursue was… believe or not its ice skating. He was sharing his experience that when he started with ice skating his feet was even wounded because of the skating shoes. One day he just woke up and he was amazed about ice skating he tried several sessions at the ice skating area in SM megamall.

Now that is a long list of sports you can all choose from. Luke Jickain is amusing to look at as a sports enthusiast because his fashion sense is complemented in every sports he explore. He shares that he is a food lover and has a big appetite but sports is something that maintain his gorgeous and fit built.
