People are always asking us how we came up with our name. Our name has a history and it represents a lot to us. In the early 1980’s, Communist block countries were still very powerful and their sports programs dominated “amateur” athletics. As part of the effort to make the U.S. more competitive, the United States Olympic Committee began the Elite Athlete Program. The purpose of this program was to enhance top U.S. athlete performances by improving their training and nutritional programs.

Included in this program were three brothers Mitch, Dean, and Brian Crouser. They were world class track and field athletes - Mitch in the discus, Dean in the discus and shot put, and Brian in the javelin. They were ideal test subjects because of the intensity of their 7 day a week training. Training diaries, muscle biopsies, nutritional analysis and speed and strength tests were all part of the Elite Athlete program. In the end, all three brothers felt that there were some sports nutrition supplements that had made a difference.

So in 1984, Mitch and Dean formed Elite Athlete, makers of Techline.
