Coliseum Athletics – Warrior Spotlight

This week’s Coliseum Warrior Spotlight goes to Sanaa Nanji ⚽️🔥

If you’ve ever had the challenge of defending Sanaa, here’s one piece of advice… Don’t let her get the ball.

One of three talented Nanji sisters, Sanaa has the kind of soccer IQ, composure, and patience that leaves defenders chasing shadows. With every twist, turn, and change of direction, she has an incredible ability to create space, break down defenders, and leave opponents wondering what just happened.

Representing Calgary Blizzards Soccer Club APDL 2010 Girls, Sanaa’s versatility allows her to impact the game anywhere through the middle of the field, whether she’s creating chances as an Attacking Midfielder, finishing opportunities as a Striker, or controlling the tempo as a Holding Midfielder.

When Sanaa joined Coliseum Athletics, she came with one mission… A Need For Speed.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, she’s always been happy to jump into sessions alongside the boys, pushing herself against stronger, faster competition to gain every possible edge. Her fearless attitude and relentless work ethic have made her one of the toughest competitors in our program.

Her dedication continues to pay off with an impressive list of accomplishments:

🏆 2024/25 Vancouver Whitecaps FC Prospects Academy
🥇 2025 U15 PDP National Champion
⭐ 2025 FTF Winter Combine – Player of the Match
🏆 2026 Gold Cup Women’s 18+ Champion

When she’s not breaking down defenders, Sanaa enjoys playing guitar, reading, and singing, and she also gives back to the game by stepping onto the field as a soccer referee. Coming from a family that loves road trips and the outdoors, she understands that some of life’s best moments happen with the people who support you the most.

We’re excited to keep watching your journey unfold. The future is bright. ⚔️

This week’s Coliseum Warrior Spotlight goes to Cole Lorencz ⚽️🔥

Some athletes have speed. Some athletes have drive. Cole Lorencz has both.

From the moment Cole stepped into a Coliseum Athletics session, he brought natural explosiveness, a relentless work ethic, and a desire to become one of the very best. The kind of athlete who doesn’t just compete, he raises the standard for everyone training around him.

When Cole is on the field, it’s simple…

Keep up… or get left in his dust. 💨

Representing Calgary Rangers Soccer Club APDL 2011, Cole has already established himself as one of Alberta’s rising stars. At just 14 years old, he’s earned recognition across the province and beyond for his outstanding performances.

🏆 Ranked #2 on the Top 10 Players to Watch at this spring’s Edmonton FTF Combine.

⚽ Ranked among Alberta’s Top APDL Goal Scorers, finishing 11th overall in May.

Those accolades don’t happen by accident. They’re earned through countless hours of work, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to improving every day.

As a Central Attacking Midfielder/Central Midfielder, Cole combines creativity, vision, pace, and attacking instincts to make an impact all over the field. His competitive mindset and hunger to succeed continue to separate him from the pack.

Off the pitch, Cole enjoys kicking back with video games, but once it’s game time, he’s all business.

At Coliseum Athletics, we’re excited to be part of his journey because this train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Next stop… the TOP. 🚂⚔️

This week’s Coliseum Warrior Spotlight goes to Kaitlyn Libal ⚽️🔥

A true Coliseum Athletics veteran, Kaitlyn has been with us since the very beginning. From late night speed sessions alongside her teammate Anna to standing on the podium with championship medals around her neck, Kaitlyn has been a shining example of what commitment, teamwork, and hard work look like.

Competing for the Calgary Blizzards APDL 2011G, Kaitlyn is a dynamic Striker and Attacking Midfielder (CAM) who brings relentless energy and determination every time she steps onto the field. She’s the type of athlete who gives 110% every time she touches the ball, and her impact extends far beyond goals and assists.

What truly makes Kaitlyn special is the respect she’s earned from her teammates.

They describe her as incredibly hardworking, someone with a high soccer IQ who is constantly talking tactics and looking for ways to help the team improve, both collectively and individually. She knows when to have fun, but when it’s time to work, she has the ability to completely lock in and raise the level of everyone around her. Supportive, encouraging, and always willing to put the team first, Kaitlyn embodies everything you want in a teammate and leader.

Off the pitch, Kaitlyn continues to challenge herself through badminton, track and field, and cross-country, building the athletic foundation that helps make her such a versatile competitor.

As a proud member of the Class of 2029, Kaitlyn continues to prove that success isn’t just about talent. It’s about effort, attitude, and the willingness to help others succeed along the way.

Keep leading. Keep competing. Keep inspiring. The future is bright ⚔️
