What is T.J. and the penalty about?

Jamie is the heart and soul of the Parkview football team, but his wild passing and love of stodgy food are causing problems. When he becomes too unfit to play, Mr Wood drops him from the squad. Determined to help, Jamie’s friends and their parents organise a World Food and Football Day, hoping to change his habits and impress the school inspectors. Jamie trains hard and earns his place back—after discovering that his real talent may be in goal.
