That is why we practice stalls and recoverys. To recognizee the onset of a stall, what conditions can create one and how to recover.
Its normal training to practice different kinds of stalls.
You stall the aircraft everytime you fly. When you land ;)

Private pilots can be and are good safe pilots. The people that have gotten killed or severly damaged aircraft in my flying club in the last few years have been professionals, military pilots and a commercial pilot. One ran out of fuel! Yes I was surprised too.

Complacency is part of the reason. Risk management is the name of the game. Listening to that little voice. Reading the NTSB reports helps create that voice. Emergency training removes the anxiety.
