You just have to remember if you are practicing forward slips at high altitude for hand eye coordination, then don't worry about the wind. In that case at 3000 feet above the ground you are practicing a maneuver.

When putting it into a real life situation, it becomes "flying the airplane"

If you are real high you would slip it. but make sure you put that aileron into the wind and keep the nose of the airplane double your nose down attitude.

You may want to practice this quite a bit, it will help you break the habit of driving a car. That habit takes hundreds of hours to break. when you get the plane on the gound, the worst thing you can do is start driving a car. But that is natural for your brain so it takes a while to over come.

Practicing slips will help
