Michael Johnson Performer of the Match
Last year, FC Dallas began using the Michael Johnson Performance Center as a way to supplement his team's fitness and conditioning program. The Hoops used the Johnson Center on a limited basis in 2007, but the coaches liked what they saw and as a result decided to form a training partnership with the center in 2008. On average, FCD makes one trip per week to the center, which is just east of Frisco in McKinney, or Johnson Center staffers come to Pizza Hut Park to work with the players. The center opened in 2002 and was started by Johnson, an Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter who attended Baylor and now lives in the Dallas area. For FC Dallas, the decision to add the facility and staff to the team's fitness regimen was a no-brainer.
