In this action research, I will interview four athletes, one black male, one white male, one black female and one white female and two white coaches who attend a rural high school in western North Carolina, in order to understand the role of athletics in a high school education.

Scott,
Per the handout, make sure you have #6, and that you try to get it into one sentence:
The statement of the problem should contain at least these 6 items: (1) your methodology, e.g., “In this interpretive study…”, (2) the methods you will use to collect data, e.g., “I will interview … and analyze their journals” (3) your participants, e.g., “4 Latina middle-school girls”, (4) where the study will take place, e.g. “who attend an urban public high school in a large western city" (5) what you are studying, e.g., “in order to determine how they use journal writing to help them negotiate the joys and difficulties of adolescence.”

Much better!
First, what is the race and gender of your participants? All males? All White?
Rather than determining your findings as positive or negative, think about phrasing the last part this way:
"...to understand the role of athletics in a high school education."
That way, you keep it open more.....
What do you think?
