After our activity in class today, how did you feel being the one in the box? How about those of you who were "free"? How did you feel? Did any of you wish you were free?
Given the fact that I am really, really, REALLY bad at throw and catch, Lindsey being the one in front was more than fine with me. She was actually really good at it so that was very nice. Despite the fact I wasn't doing anything, I liked that we were one of the better teams. On the other hand, I absolutely dreaded being in front for reasons already stated. I don't like being in control if I am not able to contribute to the team.
During today's activity the person behind had no control. This made that person feel helpless. They had no control over the outcome of the situation, and may have become frustrated when their team mate failed.
The person in the front was not without falls though. That person did not want to let down their teammate by losing. This resulted in stress and anxiety. If they lost, they were to completely to blame.
I thought it was funny standing in the back watching all the other throw the thing around. It was even better when you got out cause you could distract the other players. When I was in the front you really had to concentrate on where the ball is going and who it was going to. When you drop it, it ment you were out.
I think the assiment would of been better if we would of been able to talk. If me and Tyler would of stayed in longer i think it would of sucked to be in the back and be bored. I would of rather been in the action having fun. It felt like we was being shuned when we was in the back. But i was in the game much anyways so it didnt matter.
Being in the front was more entertaining. I found the no talking thing hard to follow because i like to talk. Being in the back was easier because you didn't have to do anything, but it was boring. Being in the front kept you busy and didn't really allow you to be bored. i felt pointless being in the back.
Well, i felt that when i was in the back that i had no control, i couldn't help my partner with throwing/catching. I couldn't talk and give him advise. When i was in the front i felt i could control my outcome and i didn't really notice my partner
Well, I felt that I was in more control when I was free. I had teh ability to take the matter into my own hands. When I was in the box nothing was up to me. However, my partner won, and I didn't. I guess that means it really didn't matter if I played.
When I was in the back I liked being in the back because you didn't have to do anything but stand. When I was in the front I had to pay attention where the ball is at. In the back it was boring.I wish that the people in the back could throw the ball.
Being in the back was very boring. You didn't have any control of what went on. It made me feel helpless. On the other hand being in the front was more entertaining, you were also in control. Also not being able to talk at all was very hard. Overall I liked being in the front a lot more.
I didn't really like being the person in the front. I felt bad for my partner when we lost because she had no control over what I was doing. I was fine being in the back for the activity because it didn't really matter to me whether we won or not, but I know I wouldn't liked it in a real life situation. Not being able to contribute or have a say in a project would really bother me.
