Ultimate Frisbeeeee

Last class we played ultimate frisbee. I've never really played this before but I thought it was fun. We started by warming up and throwing the frisbee. Then we did some sprints are were ready to go! The leaders just explained the rules and basically just let us play.
It was kind of hard to relate the aritcle about the Milgram experiments to Ultimate frisbee except when we suggested that the teams should be made more even by splitting up the guys. This really was the only time we questioned the authority. The Milgram studies were very eye opening and pretty disturbing. It's refreshing to reinforce the fact that we are human beings and don't necesarrily have to do things we don't agree with (and reap the consequences). Anyways, the next article about the Pike Place Fish Market was very applicable! The leaders for this activity promoted respect, concern and compassion for others. It's always a fun environment with the goal of working together to accomplish our goals.
In our LSDWT book we read about transitioning from supervisor to team leader. I think the leaders did a good job today being leaders and coaches rather than controlling. The reason why managers have a hard time with this transition becasue some see their 'status' dropping or that they'll be managed instead. Also the leaders of the frisbee activity empowered us to take the lead while still coaching us the whole time.
