See how spread out the squad is
Use the Distribution report to place every athlete on one metric, grouped into segments around the squad mean or median.
Distribution answers “How spread out is the squad on this metric?” It draws one bar per athlete, low to high, and groups them into segments so you can see whether the squad is tight or split into a fast group and a slow group.
Open Labs → Reports → Distribution. It also works on narrower screens.
Set it up
- In Setup, choose Date, the team or athletes, and any athlete filters.
- Under Metric, choose one metric, its Calculation, and an Exercise if needed.
- Choose Group by:
| Group by | How segments are cut |
|---|---|
| Equal width (default) | The observed range split into 10 equal widths. |
| Median | Five segments below the median and five above, each a 10% step in value from the median. Values beyond them join the outermost segment. |
| Std. deviation | Each segment is half a standard deviation wide, centred on the mean. |
If every athlete has the same value, everything falls into one segment.
Read the result
- Headline: the squad’s centre value (Squad mean or Squad median), with tiles for the number of Athletes, the Std. deviation, and the Range (lowest to highest).
- Chart: one bar per athlete, sorted low to high. A tinted band groups each segment’s athletes, with the athlete count and value range on top. A dashed line marks the squad centre.
- Names appear under the bars for up to 48 athletes. With more, hover a bar to see who it is.
- Tooltip: the athlete, their value, their segment, and their position counted from the highest value.
- Segment strip: under the chart, a small histogram of how many athletes fall in each non-empty segment.
Color is position, not judgement
Segments go from light (low values) to deep (high values). The color does not say good or bad: for a sprint time, the deepest segment holds the slowest athletes.
The centre line is the squad mean on a new board. Presets set it: Workload spread and Wellness spread use the median, the others use the mean.
Presets
| Preset | Question |
|---|---|
| Relative strength spread | How far apart is the squad on deadlift per kilo? |
| Jump height spread | One bar per athlete, against the squad mean. |
| Sprint split spread | Where the fast and the slow actually sit. |
| Velocity-loss spread | Who held the effort and who drifted toward failure. |
| Workload spread | Is the volume landing evenly? |
| Wellness spread | One score per athlete, against the squad median. |
Export and empty states
Download CSV writes each athlete’s value, their segment’s low and high bounds, the number of athletes in that segment, and its share of the squad.
- Pick what to spread out: choose a metric, and an exercise if it needs one.
- Nobody was measured in this window: widen the window, or pick a metric these athletes are training on.
Rank athletes on up to six metrics
Use the Ranking report to order the squad on several metrics side by side, each best first in its own direction.
Plot two metrics against each other
Use the Relationship report to place each athlete on two metrics, split the squad into quadrants at the medians, and read the fit line.
