> GAA TO USE WILLIAM'S HABITUAL HATS STRUCTURE FOR TRAINING OF ALL COACHES
The Gaelic Games Association (GAA) is now using William Micklem's Habitual Hats structure for the training of all hurling coaches in the organisation. Said Paudie Butler, National Hurling Coordinator and Sports Ireland Tutor
"I use William Micklem's model on every course and I am so pleased I can now share it with all our coaches.
It has been one of my main tools for the past ten years and I couldn't have managed without it.
Now we can all use it."
> THE GO! RULES
PRESENTATION TO NATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS' CONFERENCE
William recently gave a presentation on his GO! Rules to a conference of Primary School Teachers in Athlone, Ireland. The response was extraordinary bearing in mind the audience consisted entirely of professional and experienced teachers. Said conference leader Sadie Honner, Principal of Powerscourt National School.
"The response from William Micklem's presentation on The GO! Rules was overwhelmingly positive. He has produced a unique structure that strikes a cord with young people and will be of great benefit. It is rare for us to come across fresh ideas that have the potential to lighten our load and are welcomed by both teachers and students. We loved The GO! Rules."
> SUCCESS FOR MOORES STREAM & MASTER TREDSTEP
Two years ago I highlighted the potential of two special young horses my brother John and I had found, Master Tredstep and Moores Stream. (See TOP 10 HORSES) This autumn both have distinguished themselves in international competition. The 7yo mare Moores Stream ridden by Sarra Mayberry completed her first CCI ** on her dressage score at Necarne in N.Ireland, and the 6yo Master Tredstep was 6th at Aldon CCI * in England with Aidan Keogh, also finishing on his dressage score. Both these horses have the right ability and right riders to be competitive at the highest level in the future. It is a long road but wonderful to look forward to.

> HIGH PRAISE FOR MICKLEM MULTIBRIDLE
John Ledingham, the international show jumping coach, who rode in over 60 Nations Cups, winning the Hickstead Derby three times, and was the rider of the legendary show jumper Kilbaha, has high praise for the Micklem Multibridle, which will be available in the UK and USA in March: "Having worked on many coaching developments with William Micklem over the last fifteen years I am well aware of his understanding of equine bio-mechanics and mental health, and his ability to think outside the box. This has now seen William develop a sure fire winner in the Micklem Multibridle. If horses were designing a bridle, the Multibridle would be top of their list. Let us educate our horses with kindness and reward as happy horses reach their full potential. Well done William."
