Absolutely right. You need to hone the skill of hard / emergency braking, just like any other skill. The big difference with hard braking as a skill is that one rarely uses it in the course of a ride, because one actively tries to avoid situations where it is needed. Therefore a concious effort is needed to maintain the skill.
