Not on day to day ops I have annual recurrents sometimes in the sim sometimes in the aircraft. In the aircraft I have an old style examiner who puts you through the works including stall recoveries in different configs.
It goes against the grain to hold the nose up in a stall and just to go for full thrust! You power out but that's how it's done.
Short landings In a single I prefer high drag high power as you get a more precise touchdown point and more definate touchdown rather than missing the numbers and floating down the strip in an engine off glide approach.
