Strength vs Speed

Do these two measures move together?

Hover a dot for the athlete.

Moderate positive signalr = 0.69r² = 0.47n = 36

A real pattern across 36 athletes, but one only explains about 47% of the other — most of the difference between these athletes is something else. Useful as a hint, not as a rule.

Worth checking before you act on it: a pattern across the whole roster can come from position rather than training — linemen are both heavier and slower than skill players, which can manufacture a relationship that doesn't hold inside either group. Filter to one team and see whether it survives.
