Gaining Technical Proficiency

Greetings!

Dear board members, I'm looking for some extra insight to a problem I have (and probably some others on this forum) to add to what I hear from those around me. As I've gotten better at fundamentals on the clarinet (Tone, leaps, tuning), I've had the opportunity to play harder and harder music. I felt like I was doing great up until recently, when it's become very apparent that my technical proficiency (Ability to play fast AND accurately) is lagging behind. Alot. And it's really starting to hurt me. The only thing I've heard is that when you're given a fast passage, you need to slow it down and speed it up VERY slowly, and that works for me only to an extent. I almost always seem to hit an impassable wall and I'm looking for ways to break through...

Music is definitely what I want to end up pursuing in college, but my lack of technical agility is really starting to scare me. I don't want to give up in any way, but I NEED to find a way to pass through this.
