Teaching practice is the set of regularities of educational intervention. The coordination and complementarity between all of these regularities of intervention is a necessity for the success of the teaching profession. We seek in this study the influence of the intersection of professional seniority and gender of PE teachers on teaching practice. We collaborated with 30 participants, including 20 PE teachers, 10 experienced and 10 beginners, and 10 intern students. We filmed gymnastics sessions and we carried out self-confrontation interviews with the participants. Our results show that the professional seniority and the gender of the PE teacher, crossed, impact the teaching practice. The choice of strategy of women, during different stages of professional seniority, is more efficient than that of men. Experienced teachers, men and women, weave, over the years of the profession, different strategies to suitably succeed in their teaching practices. While beginning teachers, male and female, follow in the footsteps of experienced teachers. On the other hand, student interns, men and women, know what to do but, they do not yet know how to do it.
