Kera Coleman (Dukic) Reviews

Coach Kera is BY FAR the best Coach I have ever played under. I played volleyball for 12+ years and have been coached and mentored by numerous people. No one even compares to Coach Kera, period. Anyone that knows her, loves her. She is the most selfless person and Coach I have ever met. She cares about her players outside of the game. She strives for players to be their best self on and off the court.

Anytime I had an issue with health, classes or friend drama coach was ready to listen. I'm so thankful for her and my decision to play at ATU.

I wish I could write a review that would overshadow all of these LIES about the most caring coach I have ever played for. I have sat here and read made up story, after made up story about a coach who's only goal is to see her girls succeed both on the court and off. Like most collegiate coaches she holds players ACCOUNTABLE!!!, you fail ALL of your classes? GOOBYE, you have a terrible attitude and refuse to respect the coach that brought you here to play for her? NO CHANCE! She holds adult women to the standards that they should be and when players are angry that she expects us to follow the rules she puts in place they call up mommy and daddy to solve all their issues. The problem isn't coach Kera, its athletes that have never had to work hard for anything in their lives and when they aren't spoon fed what they think they "deserve" more and more excuses are made. NEWS FLASH, if you work hard, respect the person that wants to see you thrive, and buy into the amazing culture coach Kera has created your "problems" no longer exist. Coming from a program that seriously needed help, I can 100% say that coach Kera cares so deeply for her players she would never say or do half of these stories that butt-hurt bench warmers have made up about her. All I wish recruits to know is that coming to play for Kera is AN AMAZING choice that I think God I made everyday. She cares so much for the girls she brings here to Tech and only wants us to succeed. The issue is and never has been Kera, good riddance to the girls that throw shade to a coach that constantly pushed them to be better and goof luck finding a coach that will put up with mommy and daddy holding your hand, its difficult to play volleyball when both your hands are tied up :) WE LOVE COACH KERA and the program is better off without people that wish terrible things on their own teammates and coaching staff!

Coach Dukic is a solid coach and is passionate about volleyball. She knows the game and knows what it takes to win. It takes a lot of work, commitment and team unity. Not everyone is cut out for college sports honestly….. even the athletically gifted. They don’t want to be a TEAM player, they want to be a ME player and if they don’t get their way, they will pollute the team with lies….. whatever it takes even cheering against their teammates on Senior night. So sad. Coach Dukic doesn’t cater to selfish players and yes she makes her entire team run bleachers and lift weights. I know it’s crazy, isn’t it? What in the world is coming to college athletics? If you have a question or complaint, her door is open. She will be honest and direct. If a player gets sick at 2:00 am, she will be at the hospital with them. She cares for her players, all of them. If you are considering ATU and Coach Dukic please ask her to give you parent and player references and you can talk to those individuals directly. Don’t be swayed by these ME players. Ask your own questions. Arkansas Tech is an awesome program and a wonderful place to play volleyball. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better coach than Coach Dukic!

Played for kera at a different university and she is by far one of the best person I have ever met. She knows volleyball but even more important she is a great person. She is exactly who I would want to coach a daughter of mine if she is lucky enough to play college volleyball one day.

I’ve played volleyball for a long time and I can honestly say that Coach Kera is the best coach that I have ever had. I have never before had a coach that not only cared about me as a player but even more as a person. Since I got to Tech I have seen her go out of her way for players and their family’s- making extreme sacrifices to do so. She does everything she can to ensure that this program is a family. She has without a doubt made me a better volleyball player in my time here so far, but even more than that she has shown what it looks like to be a strong, selfless, determined leader, and I hope to take that influence with me after my time in the program. I would without a doubt recommend!

I currently play for Coach Kera right now and she is awesome! Cannot wait for two more years with her! ❤️

Played at tech for four years and had a wonderful student-athlete experience with coach Kera!

Coach Kera is the best Coach I have had in my 13 years of playing volleyball and I can say that confidently on public record, I have played with her for ALL 5 years as a collegiate athlete. She cares for you as a person, a student, and a player. Coach has been there with me through my darkest times. I could go into more detail but she never gave up on me once, and she would do that for ANY of her players. She pushes me in ways that I know I am going to succeed outside of volleyball. She has so much knowledge about the game and always helps me in areas that I personally need to improve on. She is personal and is dedicated to each player on achieving their individual goals. I will also say on public record the previous reviews about Coach are SO far from the truth and are from people who didn't buy into the program and culture of our team, all of these players have been to multiple schools and would say the same thing about the previous Coach. If that isn't a red flag, it should be because the problem is not the Coach. Previous review makers- If you take a jab at my Coach, I am not afraid to call you out on this review. Our culture that Coach has for this program is that we are a family no matter what. We care for one another, we motivate each other, and we win as one. We get treated SO well, that goes for coaching style, apparel, FOOD, team activities, and etc. WE are truly lucky to have this coaching staff that cares about us this much. I have the utmost respect for Coach Kera and her program. I hope you trust in what I am saying because I can confidently say I would not have spent my 5 years playing for anyone else.
