JD DuBois is a former professional basketball player and seasoned NBA coach who has spent over a decade mentoring elite athletes, started with the Toronto Raptors, Detroit Pistons and most recently with the Los Angeles Lakers. With a master’s in sport & performance psychology and a current pursuit of a PhD in the same field, JD blends experience from the highest levels of sport with cutting-edge mental performance science.

As the founder of Wholistic Coaches, JD has led workshops, camps, and keynotes across the globe, using his signature approach built around four core tenets: Collaboration, Intentionality, Flexibility, and Mindfulness. His work extends beyond the game, it's about helping people build inner clarity in the face of external chaos.

JD created Breathe Thru Chaos not just as a performance manual, but as a mindset. It’s the product of years spent in locker rooms, training facilities, and pressure-filled arenas. The book and the mission behind it, is designed to help athletes, coaches, leaders, and high-performers build the mental tools to stay grounded, focused, and adaptable no matter what’s at stake.

Whether he’s coaching pros, mentoring youth, or speaking on a podcast, JD’s goal is the same: to help others lead with presence, prepare with purpose, and perform under pressure.
