That's mostly it, except you're also constantly changing altitude to adjust to pivotal altitude which changes with groundspeed. Some instructors make it harder by insisting you pick pylons joined by a line as perpendicular to the wind as possible even if that means they're diagonally across a field from each other, which can disorient you the first few times as you have to draw that line in your head and ignore section lines.
