The famous soccer star David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975 in Leytonstone, England and currently plays for and captains Major Leagues Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy.He made his first debut in 1997 at the age of 17, and in 2004 was the world's highest paid footballer. He is married to former spice girl Victoria Beckham and has three sons.
Beckham suffers from the psychological disorder OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder). He has to have everything in a straight line or everything in pairs. Everything has to be perfect. If he puts Pepsi cans in the fridge and theres one too many, he'll throw it out or have to put it somewhere that he can't see it. In having the need to have everything perfect, the disorder actually benefits his career, because it gives a perfectionist mindset to every aspect in his life which helps him to be the amazing soccer player he is.
I feel that suffering from this disorder can be extremely hard because its somthing that you can't control. In David Beckham's case however, it helps him in some ways rather than hurts him. He uses his disadvantage to his advantage which causes him to move forward in his career.

Really great information. The examples of how he is OCD were very good. Also, you clearly expressed your opinions about this disorder. You may want to put more information about his background, but other than that, this was a great post! I give you a 100!
I really like your insight of how his disorder can be a disadvantage for him, as well as benefit him into a great soccer player. I agree that maybe this disorder can be a factor in how he is very talented. Great examples! 100! (:
SASHA! :]
David Beckham is gorgeous, who knew he he had OCD? You did a great job describing what he did like with the cokes and everything. And, I liked your opinions about his disorder. I would give you a 98 (:
Wow, "perfect" in soccer and now "perfect" in life??! That's pretty crazy! I never knew that David Beckham had OCD, that's pretty interesting. I agree how OCD can have a big thing to people's lives, but I think that if you just live life the way it is and pretend that you don't even have OCD, you'll feel better and more "normal" about yourself. Good description, 100 :)
I am quite surprised. I didn't know that David Beckham. I think it would be better if you talk about David Beckham's OCD and how he copes with it.
I enjoyed the overall discussion of the disorder. I also liked how you took a disorder and made it into one the betters his life. Very interesting!

The fact that he has OCD is impressive. I would think it'd be an advantage, as well, to further perfect his already amazing talents
