Final answer:

Coleman Griffith is considered the Father of North American Sport Psychology, known for his pioneering work in applying psychological principles to sports.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Father of North American Sport Psychology is considered to be Coleman Griffith. Neither Sigmund Freud, B.F.

Skinner, nor Albert Bandura, who are all significant figures in psychology with their own contributions, such as psychoanalysis, operant conditioning, and observational learning respectively, are credited with this particular distinction.

Coleman Griffith is known for his pioneering work in the field of sport psychology which involves applying psychological principles to sports and athletic performance.
