There is a big difference between the two. I am very slow on the soccer field and it is by design. I am not lazy or tired, but I just happen to be slow. Coaches would often joke about my speed, saying I would be the last one out of the gym if there was a fire or I look like I am running with a piano on my back.
Where I lacked in speed I made up with my quickness. I could run down most fly balls, lunge in any direction to knock down grounders on the softball field, or get to any dinks on the tennis court. Opponents often question my actions on the soccer field asking me why I don't run like that in soccer. I explain to them that quickness and speed are two different things. Quickness has to do with a fast reaction, good reflexes and aggressiveness. Speed and quickness are not related in any way.
