Body Quote by Christopher Eubanks
“Earlier in my career, it was more so predicated on whether or not I was winning or losing leading into it to determine how confident I would be. Now, it's more about: Have I prepared properly? Did I get enough sleep? Did I spend enough time on the practice court as I needed to, get my body taken care of as much as I needed to?”

![“I've used the Phoenix Centrifuge to replicate what the body's going to go through on the flight up. I've also done some gravity tests with ZERO-G [a charter-flight service in Arlington, Va., that uses modified Boeing 727s to simulate weightlessness], which went great.” quote by Richard Branson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aa1/richard-branson-256_adventure_i-ve-used-the-phoenix-centrifuge-to-repl_903.jpg)
