To turn the sentence from passive voice to active voice, we need to make the subject of the sentence the one performing the action. In this case, the subject is "the coach". The sentence "The coach said the team lost by making many mistakes." changes the sentence into active voice where the coach is directly stating that the team lost because they made many mistakes.
