Johan Bancken (°1963) is an experienced assistant in psychology, certified sports counselor and qualified caddie-coach, with a strong foundation in discipline and mental resilience, honed during his years of service as a veteran in the Belgian military.
He discovered golf later in life, quickly developing a deep passion for the game — not just as a player, but as someone intrigued by its mental demands. Combining his psychological training with his experience as a caddie, Johan now supports golfers directly on the course with real-time strategic and mental guidance.
Johan specializes in helping players stay focused, composed and confident during rounds, bringing a grounded and calming presence when pressure is high. His work as a caddie-coach allows him to translate Wiebeke’s mental coaching into practical on-course support, where mindset matters most.
As the husband of Wiebeke and father of two junior golfers, Johan lives the golf life both professionally and personally. He understands the challenges of competition and the value of a strong mental game.
