This is the lesson you have to examin closely.
When you earn your post, you will have to perform day after day flawlessly. If you don't you're out. You have to find in yourself a way to circumvent the flaws that affect your performance and build a shield around them or find a way to mask them. Every performing artist builds a recipe that favors a flawless performance, unaffected by mood, concentration gaps or just plain 'willies'. The source of info: your peers. All professional musicians have a zone of which boundaries have to be built up. Ask your friends, especially those who play other instruments than yourself, because other violinists won't necessarily help you. Other performers such as dancers, play actors, or even divers will have some kind of insight on how to go deep inside yourself and fix your zone to be 'unpertubed'.
I guess you know all this or you would not be where you are now. There are good books on the subject. Many are bull.... but all you need to find is the tiny switch of an idea that will light your spark. All will come from your self...
