This year our interviews were pretty pressuring. It was a student sitting at one end of a table surrounded by 5 mentors. All of the mentors had questions to ask, and one of the questions was even about other high pressure situations we've been in and how we reacted.
As for in try outs, I'd say having someone visibly judging their performance, or even a rabid drive coach yelling at them.
All-in-all, try-outs for those who really want the position tend to be high-pressure because they really don't want to mess up and not make the cut. Maybe not as high-pressure as it is on the field, but it wouldn't be hard to simulate that, even if you just decided to have the whole team spectating the try-outs.
