Success vs Volatility

Start with the simplest question: who paired real strength with a repeatable week-to-week shape?

Hover or focus a point to isolate it. Click a coach to carry that selection into the results table.

Average SRS reads overall strength. Volatility is the spread of season-to-season SRS, so lower values mean a steadier profile.
