Tumbling/ Bowling

Last time we did tumbling and then went and did bowling. I really enjoyed the tumbling although I didn't think I would; to be honest I was kind of dreading it. But it turned out really fun and Brandon did a great job leading all of us single handedly! First we streached and warmed up by doing some round offs and such, and then we broke up into groups. First we did the spring board and then moved to the backwards roll/hand stand station and then the floor routine. I ended up representing my group for the floor routine which I didn't fully remember but it was good times. Brandon did a great job of coaching us while leading by example. After that we went to the bowling alley. I liked how we were trying to get the lowest score. Although I think I bowled my best game ever! Brittany did a good job explaining the rules to us and stuck around for any other qurstions we had which was helpful! I don't think any of the leaders in our class are 'marshmellow leaders' and all did a great job leading. I enjoyed the less ambiguous activities less than the more structured activities but the year as a whole was a good learning experiance. I learned that sometimes the more people you have tring to figure out a situation, the better; unless it gets to the point where diminishing productivity sets in. I also learned the different 'shades of blue' as far as managers vs leaders goes. Also, there are also different kinda of leaders like a formal leader and a servant leader. One has position power and another has personal power. Everyone in the class has personal power and only Patterson had position power because he's the teacher. But I was thinking that the leaders of each activity had a little bit of a formal role because they were the leader of the day.
Anyways, I never knew how to do a floor routine or score a bowling game until last time! Each person in the class came well prepared to lead and I look forward to the outdoor class in which we do more team work/ building!
