📊 Tableau Visualization Projects

Visualizing performance, development, and well-being through data.

This repository showcases a collection of Tableau visualization projects focused on long-term trends in athletic performance, national competition, and global development using real-world datasets.
Each project emphasizes data storytelling, comparative analysis, and visual clarity.


📊 Projects Overview

1. Olympic Performance & Global Well-Being

An analytical exploration of Olympic athletic performance and its relationship with economic indicators and national well-being.
