There are five (5) questions. The answers are given accordingly below.

1. Effective Communication
Effective communication skills is what is being used by a coach who practices careful talking and listening. This is because he is involved in meaningful dialogue (two way communication) with the members of his team through talking to them careful and equally listening to them in the same manner.

2. In a game, the offensive team is the team with possession of the ball or puck, whose main goal and primary objective is to score, whereas the main objective of the defensive team is to defend their goal post, that to prevent the opposing team from scoring.

3. Defense
Just as explained in number two (2) above, if the team is more concerned with preventing the opposing team from scoring a goal against them, the team is playing defense. The offensive team on the other hand is more concerned with scoring a goal.

4. Man to Man
A defensive team may decide to play man to man or zone. Man to man defense means that each defense player is assigned to a specific offensive player to guard, while a zone defense implies that the defense players are assigned a specified area (and not a person) to guard.

5. Ball Control
When the team that is in possession of the ball, makes attempts to maintain possession while the clock is running, they are playing Ball Control. While playing ball control, the offensive player that has the ball per time will be tackled (or attacked) by the opposing team, therefore the ability to dribble the ball well is a critical skill while playing ball control.
