The NTSB create some great short videos, here's one relevant to most aircraft types:

interesting, especially the causes of the low altitude stall situation, EFATO. this is why a good pre take off brief, to yourself is a good thing. when flying, before i call ready to take off, i say out loud, expect take off at 40 kts, climb at 55, if something goes wrong, sufficient runway ahead, drop flap and land, if not, land on golf course to the left, and the road to the right. if higher than 700ft, then turn crosswind and return to the airfield, not the runway.. hopefully, having this course of action in your consciousness prior to take off might help overcome the must get back to airfield thoughts.

 

another thing pilots tend to forget is, that airfield in general is flat, and if you have an emergency in the circuit, and you have flown a wide circuit, (which you shouldnt) there is no requirement for you to land on the runway in an emergency. across the strip will do. grass is better than houses.
