The answer

The profession of a physical education teacher is permissible, and he plays a significant role in positively influencing students and their behavior. However, he must avoid prohibitions such as mixing (between genders), uncovering 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered), and neglecting prayers. Sports are important for strengthening the body and developing patience in adversity. The coach should encourage students to engage in beneficial sports and avoid wasting time following sports news, and he should not praise disbelievers if they excel in sports.
