Why isn’t “I am good at teamwork” enough in this text?
show teamworkIt is a general claim about a skill. In an interview, you need to show how you have used that skill.
That is why the coach asks Rosa for a situation, her task, her actions and the result. A specific example tells the interviewer more.
