What his players say
Professionals who trained with Pierrot Labat at Bordeaux, in their own words.
Pierrot loves to teach and I loved learning from him. This method was an essential part of my training and is necessary for all players.
Zinedine ZidaneTrained with Labat at Bordeaux 
He's very committed to the training of young players. He helped me a lot to improve my way of playing soccer. He will always be very important to me, if it weren't for Pierrot, I would never have been able to do what I have done.
Bixente LizarazuTrained with Labat at Bordeaux 
Pierrot helped me to improve above all else, my technique. With him, I learned in the best way, basic soccer skills. Pierrot taught me the foundation of my technique; how to control the ball. His guidance has been invaluable.
Christophe DugarryTrained with Labat at Bordeaux 
I was lucky to arrive at a very young age at the FC Girondins de Bordeaux. Pierrot made us come in the summer to work on the basics of soccer; all the training exercises you can see on his DVD. When you see the most talented players like Zidane and Dugarry, doing these gestures at their level, you understand how very important they are.
Rio MavubaGirondins de Bordeaux 
When I started working with Pierrot, I was 21, I did not master all the basics of soccer so his training system enabled me to succeed in games, repeating crosses and all the other basic soccer skills. They are very critical, especially when you are a young player. And this is what Pierrot is teaching; the crosses, the curled balls, the ball control. You have to control the ball when you play at a high level.
David JemmaliGirondins de Bordeaux 
Pierrot’s work on technique in motion is decisive. All Pierrot’s exercises are amazing and it is important to repeat them as often as possible because it makes you improve your way of playing.
François GrenetGirondins de Bordeaux 
Few people insist as much as Pierrot on these basics soccer skills. And when you pay attention, these basics skills make the difference. It is imperative for a soccer player to master all these technical skills. I worked a lot with the bounce board, the wall, and the upright. And at a professional level, a good pass to your teammate or a good control can make the difference in a game.
