Optimism replaces stress over the summer and League Two clubs can draw inspiration from Carlisle and Luton
As the new football season begins (and at the risk of jeopardising my marriage) I am reminded of the early days of parenthood. From an evolutionary standpoint, it is vital to forget the challenging first few months when sleepless nights are coupled with a partner constantly looking at you with an expression somewhere between contempt and disgust.
During childbirth, there are a few illusory days of bliss when the body releases endorphins and oxytocin. Endorphins, often referred to as “feelgood” hormones, are released in response to various stimuli, including physical pain, stress and heightened emotions. Oxytocin, often called the “bonding hormone” or “love hormone”, contributes to the overall experience of childbirth and the bonding between mother and baby. These hormonal responses play a crucial role in supporting the birthing process, making the experience and pain involved more manageable. They are part of the reason why many women don’t stop having children after one child.
