Man-to-Man Coverage is a defensive strategy used in sports, particularly in football and basketball. In this approach, each defender is assigned to cover a specific offensive player. The goal is to limit the offensive player's ability to receive the ball or make plays, creating pressure on the offense. This coverage requires defenders to stay close to their assigned players, often following them around the field or court. Effective man-to-man coverage relies on the defenders' speed, agility, and awareness, as they must anticipate the movements of their opponents to prevent scoring opportunities.
