Very interesting I think.

Pierre - as is all the USMNT staff - are really nice people.

Yes he is a nice guy. Just met him briefly but didn't know what aspect he played on the team.

Good article. Just keep that team in shape and hopefully he gets those U-20s in line.

He seems to be really great. A nice weapon to have on our side.

Pierre is pure class. I have so much respect for him.

[shameless advertising plug]

So much respect that I'm willing to risk negative rep by pimping his website:

www.soccerconditioning.net

Personally, I think it's a steal to have someone with his knowledge design a soccer fitness regimen and charge so little.

My younger brother has used his training program and his fitness is amazing. He has just landed a professional team in his native Bolivia. His coach is so impressed with my bro's fitness and athleticism--especially at the altitude. All of this is really due to Pierre's program. Believe me, I think Pierre is incredible. The dude totally knows his stuff, and what is most impressive is that he is always willing to clarify or answer any question--even when he's in the middle of doing his real job for the national team.

I have complete faith that Pierre is preparing the team well for the qualifier in Mexico. Seriously, with him behind the fitness--altitude will NOT be a factor against the USMNT.

Sorry can u inform me about this one?

BTW: the coach was in a video a while back on Ussoccer.com about getting the players fit for the Trinidad match.

I believe we have alot of that match to thank him for.

We didnt have alot of time and our players performed and were fit.

He has a small picture on the top of his website of him and Bruce. Is that a picture of Bruce pumping his fist in Korea after we scored on Portugal? If so...that's excellent marketing.
