Pilot DAR, thanks for that. I'm a bit of a novice.
On a more serious note I agree with you. However, one issue for me was that during training (and circuit bashing specifically) I was always anxious to get the plane down as soon as possible to have as much runway ahead of me for the "go" part of the touch and go. That is a hard habit to break, but (for me) the trick is to relax and let nature take its course.
