"Inner Game Of..." books and bananas are good.
Preparation essential, but not just for me to hear me play the notes well.
As quickly as possible I want get comfortable enough with my part so that I can really hear everyone else playing their parts and note important entrances, phrases, etc. that others have around my part so that should I slip up, I can more easily find a re-entrance point. Strauss' Alpine Symph has parts flying in and out with no easy entry references, so I downloaded the score to see exactly what was happening, e.g. where to start or stop, whose notes I'm doubling, if I echo a phrase, etc. and mark my music.
Sometimes when I solo or have an exposed part, my breathing gets more shallow, reducing my oxygen level, making it easier to lose my place.
Other times where I try to work something to near-memorization, if I don't carefully follow while I sort-of play from memory, I will stumble trying to find my place on the score. I hear that reading and memory playing come from different parts of the brain and it is hard to shift back from memory to reading.
