Second, get some free practice. *Pick a windy day and sit in a
stationary glider that's pointed into the wind and practice holding
the wings level. *A 15 knot wind is just right. *The glider will
respond sluggishly to aileron inputs just like it does on the takeoff
roll.

This exercise was easily the most effective single thing any
instructor had me do during my student pilot days. It does more than
teach you how to use the stick -- it teaches you how to react, and
after that day I found my final approaches to be much easier, not just
the take-offs. This should be a mandatory exercise for students when
the opportunity presents.
