During go-arounds, most pilots don't push the throttles nearly as far forward as they (we) should.

And in some old Douglas jets, after "go-around power" is set, "flaps 15/20 etc" and "pos. rate" stated before "gear-up", don't forget to "disarm the spoilers".

Making a very short, boring p.a. to the passengers and cabin crew can help calm them help them understand that it is a normal (due to extra caution) and not an emergency maneuver.

"You want another approach checklist, just to be on the safe side?"
