I think it's because, generally speaking, most PE teachers didn't set out to be PE teachers... whereas I think if you're like a geography teacher for example, you may not have set out to be a teacher but you obviously enjoyed learning geography and decided teaching would be a great way to pass that passion on... whereas I think most PE teachers are just wannabe sports stars who never made it. That was my experience of PE teachers at school and in the school I worked in in Germany, plus all the schools I've ever visited... they just don't come across as people who are passionate about teaching; they just want to play sports and play them with people who are as good at them as they are...
