During the early 1980s, Communist countries dominated most amateur athletic sports. In an effort to make the U.S. more competitive, the United States Olympic Committee began what was called the “Elite Athlete Program”. The purpose of this program was to enhance top U.S. athlete performances by improving their training and nutritional programs. The results were more than convincing. Two world class athletes studied in this program decided there was an emerging industry, one in which sound nutrition was not just a benefit but necessary to become an “Elite Athlete”.
