"Coach Kera is the greatest thing that has happened to me. She coaches a bunch of spoiled daddy’s girls who don’t know what hard work is, so they come on this website and talk about her. Anybody that is on this website would never have the balls to say it to her face because they hide and be fake in her face. Thank you coach for recruiting me and changing my life!! "
"I am thankful for Coach Kera. We didn't have the best year, but she always believed in us. We know we are in charge on the court, not Coach Kera. Our experiences this year will help us all grow into stronger players for next year. I am looking forward to our 24 season! Thank you, Coach Kera, for always being supportive and believing in us. "
"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. "
"As a parent of a former player, my daughter THRIVED for four years under Coach Kera. Coach Kera is not only an exceptional coach, but an even better human who still goes beyond to continue that support even after graduation. If I had the choice to do to send my daughter to Arkansas Tech, under Coach Kera, I would do it all over again.
We love Coach Kera!!!"
"Kera has graduated players write letters of encouragement to the new players. They are read on a regular basis. The graduated players come back and play in the alumni games for years. "
"Kera is a phenomenal coach!!!!!! She is accessible to her players at all times. She keeps time on and off the court enjoyable. She genuinely cares about how her players are mentally, physically, and emotionally. She strives to help student athletes develop into responsible, hard working, and respectful women. I cant say enough about her as a person and a coach. 10/10! "
"Kera is an unbelievable person. The most special soul. She’s helped me thru every stage of life on and off the court since day one. She’s loyal, passionate and has a huge heart. "
"I don’t have a single negative thing to say about Kera! She’s a tremendous leader on and off the court, and has made me a better person. Kera has a deep knowledge of the game and gives her everything to players that buy into her culture. I would love to play for kera again. Any recruit reading this….If you want an elite coach and high quality person that will support you for life, play for Kera. "
"Coach Kera was undoubtedly the BEST coach I have ever had in my career. Her knowledge of the game, her compassion, and her faith in me made her stand out as not only an amazing coach but an amazing human. I am now a coach myself and model my coaching style after hers. Not only did she push me and believe in me to make me a great athlete, she listened to me in one of my darkest times and provided feedback that got me through some of my toughest days. Beyond THANKFUL for Coach Kera. "
"Kera was one of my college coaches at STU in Miami, FL. She is an INCREDIBLE woman, coach, and mentor. I can't thank her enough for being such a supportive figure in my life. I am in awe that anyone would have anything negative to say about her. I can speak on behalf of my entire STU volleyball team in 2017, that Kera helped create one of the healthiest team cultures I have ever been apart of. "
"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!"
"If you are a the type of player or person who thinks the rules don’t apply to you cause you are just that good or you are the type of person that is better than everyone else then coach Kera is not for you. If you are used to getting your way always and mommy and daddy have taken care of everything for you then no you won’t like tech. But if you are interested in someone who truly cares about others who ever they may be and treats people with respect then this would be a good fit. Coach Kera is extremely competitive but along with her competitiveness she is truly a caring person. She is not the type of coach that holds back from trying to teach you how to improve your game, she cares about your academics and who you are on and off the court. She wants you to be the best you can be. "
"Kera is as incredible coach, the best I know. Yes, she holds you to a high standard, but with the thought that life is hard and is also going to hold you accountable. You wont be able to transfer, or anonymously complain. Sure, it may have worked in your favor this time. College and volleyball end at some point. KERA- keep doing what you're doing. Those who truly know you, have been around you for any length of time, know that you have a heart of gold and you care about your players. "
"Coach kera is a representation of what playing college sports should be about or should I say playing sports at any level should be about. Why has no one mentioned while posting about her teams academic success as well as her teams giving back to the community that they are in or even communities that they don’t live in. Like taking food to the homeless and raising money for people in difficult situations. "
"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'm a parent of an ATU VB player. I can say without a doubt that we’ve had more experience and first-hand knowledge, from a parent’s perspective, of the program since Coach Kera took over than anyone else. She is a good coach that cares about her players and their families. We’ve experienced this first-hand to a far greater extent than what we could have ever imagined; and her response was greater than what could possibly be expected. Arkansas Tech is a great university, and the school and VB program is an outstanding opportunity for young adults. It's been a joy for us to get to know the student athletes and their families. Is it easy for the athletes? No. The time, effort and struggles of a college student athlete are demanding. This isn’t high school or club VB, and every situation isn’t ideal for everyone.
Finally, I’m Mark Solberg. I don’t hide behind social media post. My phone number is (501) 472-7503 and you can call me anytime.
