To move the air faster to start the note. A lot of young players have problem with slowing their air streams down at the start of a not and picking up the pace when the note doesn't center at the start (this is especially true in the high register). Move your air faster at the start, be shure the air is pushed down into your stomach area (reach down like you're going to touch your toes and then breathe/you'll see what I mean), drop your tounge and aim our air down the stem of the mouthpiece. That advice from Anthony wouldn't hurt either. This is just more of a "bonus feature" that will help speed and ease your adjustment a bit.
If this isn't what he meant, then oops. Sorry about that.
later.
