Strength is the foundation of speed and power. If you do not have that base of strength, it is going to slow you down as you will have trouble just moving your bodyweight. For some athletes, just increasing their limit strength is going to benefit their speed. Higher level athletes not quite as much. I think you make a good point Methodman that some coaches over-focus on limit strength. Taking an athlete from a 400lb back squat to a 500lb back squat may not be what the athlete needs to get faster. Taking another athlete from a 100lb back squat to a 200lb back may be just what the athlete needs on the other hand. There is a point of deminishing returns when it comes to increasing limit strength as it relates to speed.
