Then when it's time to play, they slam everything together at the moment of attack, while their embouchure is stretched out inside the m.p.
So if they have a long passage, after several breaths their embouchure is falling apart. This can be especially true in performances when the adrenaline is flowing. Keep your lips just touching inside the mouthpiece when breathing and see what happens to your endurance. You may have to take in some air through your nose instead of everything through your corners, so it takes some getting used to.

| If you keep the center of your lips just touching when you breathe, you don't have to over-analyze anything! |

I'm not certain, but I think I might already be doing it right. Going to check out that Reinhardt forum and see what I can incorporate into my summer routine.
