I have been coaching this track team the last few years.  It is of course open to any kid who wants to run regardless of ability or experience and we have a good mix of kids.

I can't help but notice though, some kids and families take it a heck of a lot more seriously than others, and they are overwhelmingly the black kids/families.

They don't just show up and go through the motions.  If I say go home and stretch, I don't have to wonder if they will.  If I say "try to get in some solo workouts over the long weekend," they are the same ones that contact me to ask exactly what they should be doing, and then tell me how it went afterwards.  Shoot, they run in their free time.  They invent extra workouts and invite their friends.  Their parents read about running and try to give their kids guidance.

Guess who the top runners are year after year?   Should I try to hold them back?

What should I do to try to bring up the kids who don't care and treat the practices like a punishment and whose parents I have never seen?

Oh, and replace "track team" with "math club" and replace "black" with "Asian."
