Season 2 of She Shield Podcast is here! In this episode, Sofia sits down with Ryan Di Lello to explore a perspective most shooters overlook, movement as a true performance skill.

Coming from a background as a professional dancer, Ryan brings a completely different lens to competitive shooting, one rooted in body awareness, timing, and intentional movement. What might look like speed on the surface is actually built on precision, efficiency, and control.

Together, they break down the biggest movement mistakes shooters make, how to build better stage execution, and why simply “going faster” is often the wrong approach. Ryan shares how his dance career shaped the way he trains, competes, and performs under pressure, and how those same principles can translate to anyone looking to improve.

This episode goes beyond gear and surface-level tips. It’s a deeper look into what it actually means to move well with a purpose, whether you’re competing, training, or focused on personal safety.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your progress or wondered what separates good shooters from great ones, this conversation will shift the way you think about training.
