The correct way to land is to round out (or flare as they call it nowadays) and then fly level, power-off, perhaps a foot or so above the runway. You then bring the control column slowly back, just enough to hold the aeroplane off the runway, but for as long as possible. As you do this, the speed gradually decays away until she stalls cleanly and settles onto the runway. Then you can apply your brakes. Do it that way and she won't bounce.
I agree. Keep saying to yourself.... " don't land ! don't land ! " and you will find yourself holding the level attitude to touchdown, if you can just ease the nosewheel up a fraction it will be even better, add ... " be kind to the nosewheel.. " to your mantra !
I still get it wrong tho ! sometimes - so don't worry. If In Doubt Lash Out, everything goes forward for speed, throttle, mixture, carb. heat, pitch, flaps - in some aircraft. ( not necessarily in that order of course - you work it out ! )
