Social/Cultural Context: In their locker room, they have goals posted on the walls, with goals for their season, goals for that week, and goals for that game. When it is time to run out of the locker room, they all slap the goals on the wall as a reminder for what they are trying to accomplish.

Collector’s Comments: One of the more different forms of folklore we ran into during this project. Very interesting way to motivate a team and remind them of what they are trying to accomplish in a season.
