Some of the contributors are well-known sport psychology consultants, such as Mark Andersen, Daniel Gould, Sean McCann, Sean Murphy, Robert Weinberg, Gloria Balague, and Douglas Hankes. Other authors, such as David Grand, Lynda Mainwaring, and Mario Scalora, have made significant contributions to performance enhancement through their respective work with actors, dancers, and public safety organizations. The remaining expert contributors include Charles Brown, Karen Cogan, Sandra Foster, Paul Lloyd, Sara Kamin, and Kirsten Peterson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA foreword by Raymond Fowler captures the book's contents and contributions to the performance psychology field….I believe \u003ci\u003ePerformance Psychology in Action\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the literature.
