Kera Coleman (Dukic) Reviews

This coach has zero knowledge how to coach. Hey record proves it under 500. 3-25 this season

I played one season for this ATU Volleyball program under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman and it was a horrible experience. I transferred after one season and in my profile page of my new school, I list my previous college as unknown because I don't want anybody to know that I played for this ATU Volleyball program. It's embarrassing. I applaud the players that tell their story of abuse in hopes to prevent other players from becoming another victim of Coach Kera. I witnessed her abuse of a player that included her telling the player that she was a LOOSER because of her social media posts. She harassed that player all season long. It was a huge distraction and an obsession of Coach Kera. Coach Kera cut that player from the program after that season and it was the Biggest Favor she could have every done for that player. My former teammate found a new school with another D2 volleyball program and they just won their conference. I can tell from her social media posts that she is loved and cared for at her new school. She is surrounded by people who believe in her and encourage her. She is not just surviving, She is THRIVING. No doubt that coaches need to push us to be better and do better but Coach Kera lacks that capability. She thinks tearing a player down, gossiping about them and making fun of them is pushing them to do better or to change. This is NOT right.

Kera, the best thing you did was tell me face-to-face that you gave up on me as a player because I am thriving here. No "petty drama," just hard work in the gym. Mentally and physically pushed, yet not torn down - that's the difference between my new environment and ATU's program. A year ago today, I gave up on myself, even contemplated not wanting to be alive. Grateful to be here, loving the sport again. Decided to finally respond because it's ignorant and disrespectful to tear down EVERYONE. Thank you Kera for giving up on me, telling me i'm not good enough to play for some shitty team that is in one of the worst conferences in D2 volleyball, talking to other players in meetings and appointments about me saying i'm not good enough to be on the court. Look at me and so many others with a similar story.

Kera Dukic Coleman is not a great role model for young women of today. Young ladies need to be supportive of each other and not manipulated by an adult like Kera who on the surface appears to be a supporter of young women but behind closed doors or behind your back, she tears girls down with her mind games and endless drama. The world is challenging enough and women need to support each other but under the direction of Kera Dukic Coleman, your daughter will be cultivated into a mean spirited and spiteful person. We have end of season meetings and all Kera does is talk trash about other players with other players. It's so unprofessional and just an absolute horrible experience. I am very uncomfortable when Kera talks badly about one of my teammates. I don't know how to respond. I want to say how uncomfortable I am when she talks about other players and ask her to stop. I wich the AD would be required to sit in on these end of season meetings. Maybe if someone was overseeing these meetings, they would be more professional and not veer off into gossip and drama.

In college athletics you talk about owning up and taking responsibility. but we have a coach deflecting and using this as her reason as to why she didn’t have a good season this year. how many more season are going to go by of you (Kera) blaming past players for why you continue to have losing seasons.

Watched her coach for awhile and is a great coach and person

Super embarrassing when opposing teams are making post like this one https://x.com/barstoolreddies/status/1719402055301828797?s=46 of her mugshot every time we play someone. last season someone waved her mugshot up and she threatened to assault them. ATU & Abby Davis never did anything to hold her actions accountable. Kera can’t own up to her DUI. She sweeps it under the rug and acts like it doesn’t exist. Anytime someone brings it up she gets belligerent. Thank god these girls only have a few weeks left of this embarrassment.

I am a pretty strong headed player that can put up with a lot but one thing that stuck with me that Coach Kera did that was completely uncalled for was keeping players in the bus after a game. We had lost to Harding and went to subway after. She preceded to make everyone get off the bus except for three players. She even made the assistant get off. She asked these girls who she should keep on the team and who she should kick off. She also asked who she could trust or not. How inappropriate right? The players she said she was kicking off or couldn’t trust are all players that thankfully are not with her cultish program anymore but one player is still on that team currently. She said one player was a mean girl, a bully, how she was uncoachable, and she was kicking her off. Thankfully the one girl talked coach into not doing that. The rest of the players, the assistant coach, and the trainer all waited in subway for over 45 minutes. The subway workers were upset because they were closed and we had to stay in there because she wouldn’t let anyone listen to her convo on the bus. Don’t believe this review? There was a recording of the whole convo. Thankfully one of the girls recorded the whole conversation and a handful of us players heard everything. I wanted to keep this to myself but after seeing review after review and seeing poor players that are still with her program even after she dogged them to other teammates I had to speak up. It’s such a sad situation. Kera is gonna tell you none of this happened. Ur reach out. A lot of us players that are not with the program have a lot of things documented such as voice recordings and videos. A group of us are currently gathering all info to send to the GAC committee since, Abby Davis does not want to hold this individual accountable for their poor actions.

I find It very funny Kera “claims” she is in the loop with social media and knows all the ins and outs. But Is is not smart enough to know that we can see when she stalks our social media pages on her personal and burner accounts as well. My first question is who paying for her “SportsRecruits” account? I’m going to guess the school. Well in that case, why is she aloud to use the schools time and money to view players that are no longer with her program. She has not only viewed their accounts not once but numerous times. She has viewed mine and a few other of my former teammates profiles a handful of times in just the past few weeks. Kera how about you use your time to actually get some recruiting done instead of STALKING our pages like a creep. We don’t need another repeat like last season lol. My other issue is she has been attempting to stalk our other social media pages numerous times. We could give two shits about your program and what you are doing. Please do the same and move on. Or at-least get up to date on how social media works ;)

Kera needs an update on how to coach. She likes to belittle you in games and practices. I remember a game against harding she pulled a player out and screamed at her for jumping with the setter and we had lost the point. Kera then called a time out and yelled/cussed her out in front of the whole team. That player then went back in the game crying. It’s okay to be corrected as player however to cuss them out and tell them how stupid they were is not appropriate or acceptable in any way. Not only that but she would also threaten to kick players out of practice or games multiple times as if that’s going to motivate us. I believe kera needs to go to a coaching camp and take some notes on how to keep players instead of being a bully and running girls off. It’s a sad, miserable, toxic environment all because of the head coach who needs help herself. Don’t listen to her media post of how wonderful and grateful she is because its all just a sham, just like how it would be if you came on a visit and she promises you all this money and playing time. It’s just another way to manipulate people for playing there.
