Our Team

Where the passion begins

The team at 3P Performance are passionate about encouraging young athletes to perform at their best. With an enthusiastic and positive approach to teaching, coaches have been selected based on a commitment to creating personalised learning experiences. The team will always strive to provide students with an environment that encourages them to express themselves and identify their strengths and assist them to improve all facets of their development. The team at 3P Performance have built a strong skill set in terms of individual sport knowledge and techniques, practical application of physical education, and athlete safety. Known as a friendly and approachable group of coaches, with an upbeat and positive outlook, we encourage the same mental attitude in the students under our care. Focused and determined, we are eager to further build on these strengths!

Matthew Hartigan

Matthew arrived in 2017 from NSW, where he had previously worked as a teacher at Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown (PBB) and within the Junior Development systems at the Penrith Panthers and the Sydney Roosters. During his time at PBB, they were crowned National Champions in 2012 and saw a very large number of NRL players transition out of school and into fulltime positions across the league. Upon moving to QLD, he moved into a scout role for the Brisbane Broncos before going full time with the club at the end of 2019. In 2021, Matthew joined the Wests Tigers, where he worked as part of the recruitment team. His arrival at Marsden SHS has seen the school become a powerhouse, with the NRL Schoolboy Cup side finishing in the top 4 within Australia in 2017 and 2019. In 2020, Marsden became the first ever school to win all the top competitions in QLD across Years 7-10. In 2021, Matthew guided Marsden SHS to its inaugural Langer Cup Opens title. With the Dolphins now entering the NRL competition, he has taken up the role of Junior Recruitment and Development Officer.

Away from Rugby League, Matthew has been a key member of the Australian Oztag team, competing since 2015 and winning two World Cups. He has also played for NSW and won both National and State titles. In 2022, Matthew will play for the Australian Men's Open Oztag team at the International Tag Series competition.

His time within the local area has also assisted him to recognise a real need outside of school hours, for young men and women to be provided quality training and learning environments. His passion for aspiring young athletes drives the movement, with the 3Ps based on PURPOSE, PRACTICE and PERSISTENCE.
