KAGAMI - Golf & Leadership Academies

The Company

Sabana Crowcroft 


is a paradigm shifter. She questions the core beliefs and accepted truths that shape most people's lives on an unconscious level. She helps people see things about themselves and their behaviour that they could not possibly have uncovered by themselves. Following a career as a Golf Professional on the Women’s European Tour, Sabana spent more than 17 years as an international golf coach and researcher of sports and human psychology.
When she launched KAGAMI in Europe, it was the only sports training to work with all standards of player without giving instructions. Today many Golf Professionals are interested to learn this fast, effective coaching method. Over the years Sabana observed with fascination the analogies between people's behaviour on the golf course and in the rest of their lives. From these experiences she developed the KAGAMI Management Seminars where golf is used as a powerful feedback instrument that mirrors to people how their inner reality affects their golf swing, life swing and work swing. Sabana's open personality allows her to work with people on a fundamental, personal level, where effortless change is possible.

In his training, he uses a mixture of  video analysis and special therapeutic measures (Matrix Rhythmus Therapie) which raises the understanding of the player for the golf movement in relation to their own flexibility.
