Lots of famous athletes got their start because coaches went the extra mile that their parents wouldn't.
I want to like this answer a whole bunch. It just feels wrong to help the talented kid while the sucky kid can stay home with no ride.

Feel free to give the kid who sucks a ride, too. Nobody is stopping you. The talented kid is just going to make you feel better about yourself in the short term because he/she will immediately improve your team's chances of winning. It might take you longer to realize you made a difference in the "kid who sucks" life as well.

But for the talented kid, sports might be his only ticket to a better life. The sucky kid is gonna have to find something else anyway. So you're actually helping them both by only helping the talent.
