What Parents Need to Know

About David Beckham's Soccer USA

Parents need to know that this sports magazine show revolves around one of England's (and now America's) tabloid staples -- soccer star David Beckham. Older tweens and teens may have heard about Beckham's off-the-field antics with his equally notorious wife, Victoria (aka "Posh Spice"). While some of the show's interviews with Beckham focus more on that side of his life than his ability on the field, overall it's a straightforward, sports-centric series that can be enjoyed by soccer fans of all ages.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why this show is on the air -- is it because Beckham is so good at soccer or because he's such a big star? Or both? Can athletes become too famous? Is their ability to perform impacted by their celebrity status? How? What other athletes can you think of who are known more for their name than their athletic ability? Families can also discuss the work and commitment it takes for athletes to achieve elite status in competitive sports. What does it take to make it to the top?
