I used to be a much better pilot than I am today, simply because I would decide which manuever I wanted to work on and practice it repeatedly. Now I tend to just bang the sticks around.
Ditto!
The best way to get comfortable is to KNOW what you are going to do next. Once you have entered a manuever, don't change your mind halfway through. For instance, don't decide to do a roll, then change your mind and fly inverted instead. Complete the roll, because that's what you PLANNED to do.
