"Reading these reviews it’s so sad how bad this program is spiraling. I played for coach last year and it was bad but not this bad… She is putting girls against each other and worried about all the wrong things. Please atu do something about this. This isn’t fair…"
"During the game last night it was really embarrassing for the program when someone in the audience was showing our coaches mug shot. I didn’t know she had a DWI until then. "
"She mistreated athletes years ago! not a caring person, I experienced it and saw it happen to my friends and teammates. We tried to talk to the school, it was so unfair at the time. Not a shocker to hear it is still happening bc no one listen then. I give her 2 stars for knowledge bc she actually really knew the game, but as a coach her style didn't motivate or unite so only 2 stars. Practice was unpredictable and our schedule changed always. have some awesome memories with my team and I know some of them would share a different story bc she didn't mistreat everyone, It's okay if its only some people that's what I learned at ATU. Lets just say I am still in the community and we don't recommend athletes to that program."
"Been in volleyball for over 10 years - coach keras style wasn't for me - lost the love for the sport there - wasted a year of growth - frustrating and confusing time - not what I thought I was coming into"
"Side not that got swept under the rug really quickly: she got a DWI and faced no know punishment for it. I’ve known athletes that have gotten kicked off of Tech teams for the same thing. "
"Coach Kera is a great Head Coach! Most of these negative comments if you read are repetitive and sound like they are coming from 1-2 players that really have it out for her which is sad. They want to hide behind a screen but when they see her in person give her a hug, cry to her, and say they are SORRY. Please get a life and move on. Karma bites back. LOVE YOU COACH KERA.❤️ "
"Past player: definitely favoritism.drama. Inappropriate relationships. Disorganization. Disrespect to her own staff and players. If you don't hate who she hates then you pay.
Loved like 90% of my professors! ATU needs a new coach. "
"Coach has always made sure we are fed after games. This Monday she went to 3 different places to get us food after a hard loss. She always makes sure we are fed and taken care of. ❤️"
"Not the right fit for our daughter. The culture was aggressive and very controlling. Completely different from when we visited, we felt like we got a 180ed. Very little time was left for our daughter outside of volleyball even in the off season, we felt her academics were not placed as priority number 1. We felt the amount time for volleyball vs what is left for studies, personal time and a social life was imbalanced and really not for discussion. Kera wants what she wants. This issue arose time and time again. We too heard about the team's continuing inner fighting and thought this is just typical stuff but it is not anything typical. We were thankful our daughter was able to navigate the experience and fair better than others. I myself was a college athlete many many years ago and things were different then! Kera could improve her professionalism, organization, prioritization and her ability to unite the team. "
"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 played here for a couple of years and at first it seemed like the perfect fit! I was so excited for this new chapter in my life, new friends, new atmosphere, new coach, just new everything! After a couple of months I had recognized a couple of red flags, like being in the office thinking that we are going to talk about volleyball, instead talking about other players. Kera makes you feel like her office is safe and that your conversations stay with her… that was not the case. Not only would she talk about just players, she also would speak negatively about her coaching staff while also disrespecting them at practice. Players behind the scenes would talk about how we could run a better practice than her because we do the same drills nearly everyday along without knowing which mood of Kera’s you were going to get that day. Last year is girls all went out for Halloween and yes we all drank, should we have? No because it was a dry season and knew we shouldn’t of. Well we lost a game a couple of days later and one player who had a very inappropriate relationship with kera walked up to the front of the bus and told kera we all went out. So kera stood up and asked who all drank that weekend to raise their hands, after that we never really had a true day off because she would make us wake up early every weekend to do film, team activities, or mostly community service. So we were all so mentally and physically exhausted. Not to mention we were watching film specifically against HSU and Kera thought it was appropriate to say about the player number 12 that she is “ratchet and ghetto but that’s okay for me to say because I married a black man so I’m not racist.” To the people on this review page attacking those who had terrible experiences at ATU, that’s not fair and one day you realize the situations you are going through aren’t normal or healthy. You are still loved by those who left just know people have different experiences when they aren’t a favorite of Kera’s. "
"in the middle of our game were ask what punishment we wanted if we lose. we lost and we told we wouldn't get dinner. practices are unorganized. we have to let her see ALL of our social media. we fear retaliation if we say something. ENOUGH SAID!! Do better Coach!!"
"Parent here, it is always tough to send your child away to school you always hope they will be in good hands. We are proud of our daughter for recognizing this troubling culture and removing herself. Tough decision for any young adult to make after investing so much and our family investing so much but the best decision in the end."
"Played for Coach Kera a few years back. program was unorganized and toxic. I think she is pretty knowledgeable about volleyball but her people skills are so bad that there was always some fighting going on. we always knew what player had the target on there back. "
"As a parent, I was extremely disappointed in the treatment of parents and players from out of state. We saw favoritism, fear tactics and disrespect constantly. We pulled her out as quick as possible after only one season. I wouldn't recommend sending your daughter to Kera Dukics program. She seems to be in fear of loosing her own job so the unchoosen ones get the brunt of her anxiety. My daughter was also always streeses because the program was so unorganized and it effected her classes. Since moving on to another school, we have seen it done right! This is what our family experience. Just hoping others girls can enjoy their collegiate experience."
"I currently play for coach kera. She has told us to leave positive reviews for her. It's not a good environment. I see how the coach kera creates division among current players, all while talking about it being a family. I wish she wouldn't continue to slam past players to put fear into us. We lost a game and were told we wouldn't be fed. The season just started and so has the drama....here we go"
"I am currently a player for coach Kera and I absolutely love the team and Tech. Yes, I would be lying if I said it was all butterflies and rainbows. But we are such a family here and that is what makes it so special. She pushes us because she believes in us more than we can ever imagine on and off the court. And she really prepares us for life after college. Love you coach ❤️"
