Practise PFLs from downwind aiming to land on a chosen spot on the runway (not necessarily the numbers) at the right speed.
This will familiarise you with managing the energy the last thousand feet down and allow you to determine what works best in your a/c.
Gliders are even more slippery, but have spoilers. My first and so far last outlanding was 100 yards in from the wires with a 50 yard ground roll. Do
not try going between trees to get in tighter as there's often a wire there
