About the Author: Dr. Ken Davis has played and coached cricket at a high level, coached both men's and women's teams and provided support to players as a sport psychologist. In 1975 he completed a master's degree in physical education in Perth, Western Australia, where his thesis on cinematographic analysis of fast bowling in cricket became the catalyst for over 30 years of research into this explosive and often potentially harmful motion. In 1989 he completed a PhD in sport psychology from Florida State University. He has worked with several elite athletes and teams in the role of sport psychologist, most notably with the Geelong and Richmond football teams in the Australian Football League. Since 2000 Ken has worked at Cricket Victoria in a variety of roles, including coaching the successful Victorian Spirit women's team as well as leading the Australian women's youth team on tours of New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
