About Jessica Duleba
Coach Jess
Jessica Duleba | Director & Lead Coach
After a tremendous college career out in New York City, Coach Jess played professionally overseas for 6 years in Spain, France, and Poland, all while taking coaching courses to get certified to coach players under the French Coaching Federation (FFBB) which has helped her to develop a unique perspective on coaching this game. Upon returning to the US she founded JD7 to teach other athletes what she has learned during her professional career.
Currently, she is the Director of JD7 Basketball’s programs, Head Coach of 17U Nike EYCL Girls Basketball Team for Michigan Crossover, Assistant Coach at Oakland Community College for the Women's Program and the Head Varsity Girls Coach at Birmingham Groves High School.
Previously, she was an Assistant Girls Varsity Coach for 3 years at Lakeland High School in White Lake, along with the Head Junior Varsity Girls Coach.
“I believe every player of any skill level is capable of getting to where they want - BUT, they have to have the right mindset, the desire to put in the work, and they MUST have the right coach in their corner”
