The award-winning design firm based out of Seattle, Teague, believes it has a solution. They have teamed up with Nike to create the extraordinary and unbelievable "Athlete's Plane".
"Air travel often hinders athletic performance due to the impact on physical, physiological and cognitive functions, said Teague's creative director Philipp Steiner. When professional athletes travel across multiple time zones their team is statistically more likely to lose the Athlete's Plane essentially levels the playing field.

The next two areas are sleep and optimal blood circulation, both of which speed up healing after games.Lastly, the Nike themed interior will "create spaces for key mental activities, especially film study enabling in-transit film review both before and after games."The Athlete's Plane is currently just a design study for future aircrafts, but in the extreme competitiveness of professional sports, there is a good chance that a determined team owner may be willing to lay the dow out for that extra quality for his or her players.
All in all, the Athlete's Plane may easily become a reality someday...
