You touch on an important part which is go arounds and how many hang on for grim death when it all goes pear shaped usually coming to a not very pretty stop with just bruised egos.

Especially in rough weather a go around should be predominant in your thoughts on the approach rather than something you think about when its all going wrong.
In such weather its better to expect a go around and be prepared for it rather than expecting to land and not being prepared to go around.

You should be as comfortable going around even from touchdown as you are at landing although I suspect some are not really that comfortable with either
