This paper explores how the integration of educational technology (EdTech) has been incorporated into the field of physical education (PE) and explores the difficulties encountered by Physical Education teachers (PETs) in successfully implementing technology. Through a systematic secondary literature review spanning the past decade, this paper identifies several key challenges, including unpreparedness, a trial-and-error approach, a shift in teaching priorities, and variations in teacher effectiveness. These challenges underscore the pressing need for readiness, adaptability, and preparation in the face of unforeseen disruptions, particularly in the context of online instruction. This study presents substantial recommendations to address these issues, emphasizing the pivotal role of technology-infused teacher education programs and advocating for Physical Education teachers’ education (PETE) faculty to embrace technology leadership. By implementing these recommendations, PETE programs can better equip preservice teachers and faculty members to harness technology for more effective learning experiences. Consequently, this endeavor aims to elevate the quality of PE in our increasingly digitalized era.
