A huge thank you to Loulua Zawawi for her assistance with the research material for this episode, as well as for her time and the original idea behind its creation. It is greatly appreciated.

In this powerful and thoughtful episode of Football For Kids, we explore why football creates such big emotions — from last-minute winners and stadium goosebumps to moments where feelings spill over. Inspired by real messages from families, this episode helps children understand anger, frustration, and excitement through a simple brain framework — The Owl, The Baboon, and The Lizard. We also address respect, kindness, and why racism is never acceptable in football or in life.
