Abstract
In the last decade, research on Physical Education (PE) teacher trainers (TT) has increased. In Mexico, however, this production is scarce and many relevant questions remain unanswered. It is necessary to develop a more complete understanding of this professional group, as it is an integral part of the PE profession. This study was developed using the theory of occupational socialization. The objective was to describe and interpret perceptions on the PE concept of good TT of PE by university professors (who are also teacher trainers) from public universities in Mexico. 202 TT participated, who were specifically asked to answer the following question: describe what a good teacher of Higher Education, teacher trainer, is to you. Content analysis was used for the processing of information in the first instance; descriptive statistics were subsequently used, namely frequencies and percentages. The results reveal that, for TT, a good trainer is characterized mainly by his personality traits, followed by scientific and pedagogical competences.
