The Mindset of a Table Tennis Player with Trevor Manning

The Mindset of a Table Tennis Player with Trevor Manning

Ex-international table tennis player Trevor Manning on focus, discipline and translating elite sport mindset into healthcare, work and everyday life.


In this episode, Paul Corke is joined by Trevor Manning—ex-international Table Tennis player for Barbados, Caribbean Junior Champion, and competitor across the Caribbean, UK and Europe. After sport, Trevor built a second career as a qualified Nurse and Occupational Health Advisor, bringing high-performance habits into clinical and corporate settings.

Trevor shares his journey and the mental skills that matter at the table—and beyond: focus under pressure, rapid reset after mistakes, routines that build confidence, and how to carry a competitor’s mindset into wellbeing and work.

You’ll hear:

  • The athlete mindset behind precision sports: focus, footwork, micro-decisions

  • How to reset after errors: breathe, reframe, first positive action

  • Translating ring-side routines to healthcare & workplaces (energy, recovery, boundaries)

  • Lessons from competing across cultures and stages—staying adaptable and grounded

  • How this connects to Paul’s Mindset Equation (Aspiration, Belief, Drive/Motivation, EQ, Resilience, Learning Agility)

Try this (90-second reset):

  1. Exhale longer than you inhale (4s in / 6s out, x6 breaths).

  2. Cue word (e.g., “sharp” or “calm”) + visualise the first correct action.

  3. Execute that first action immediately.
