Hi all,

I'm a bit stumped about how to conduct a particular analysis.

I have performance and questionnaire (mental toughness index) data on 170 middle-distance athletes. 

I want to correlate: 
1) consistency in performance across the season (I have at least 3 performance times per participant, not always the same races) with mental toughness scores
2) correlate improvement in performance across the season with mental toughness scores

In so doing, I also want to control for distance run (there are only between group difference in distance), age, and years of experience.

Any suggestions about what I should do would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

John
