Here are main points from the article written by one of my favorites!
How to Stop Choking Under Pressure
1. Practice the Basics
* Run through it several times and smooth out the kinks
* Make sure you can perform on autopilot
* Think about the most likely questions or interruptions and rehearse responses
2. Rework the Basics
* Change up the order so you know it backwards and forwards
3. Practice the "What Ifs"
* Prepare for things that can make you freeze
4. Visualize
* Mentally rehearse, and rehearse how you will react to the "what ifs"
5. Create Solution "Shelves"
* Store your mentally rehearsed reactions for later use so you don't have to think on your feet
6. Learn From Close Calls
* Close calls let you learn painlessly
* Visualize the solution afterwards and put it on your Solution "Shelf" for later use
