Sagen Maddalena has a literal shot at gold this summer at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

Maddalena is a two-time Olympic shooter and will compete in two air rifle events at the summer games.

She grew up in Groveland, California. She was homeschooled in the small mountain town and was introduced to her sport through a 4-H gun safety class.

She got hooked and went on to become an eight-time All-American collegiate shooter at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.

That led to a career as a sharpshooter in the U.S. Army and these days, Sgt. Sagen Maddalena is a member of the elite World Class Athlete Program, which allows members to train and compete in sports on an international level while representing their country.

You might think shooting is a sport of perfectionists. Maddalena says perfectionism actually works against her as an athlete.

"I think that's one of the things that makes me so good at it is is that I've put in a lot of hours of work and discipline. I've been stubborn to make sure I follow that discipline and that work ethic to be as I can be without being perfect. Having that mentality that would be overwhelming," Maddalena says.

On this 'Dying to Ask':
  • Few people guess Maddalena's sport correctly. The sport they think she does.
  • How to achieve mental clarity and avoid the pitfalls of perfectionism.
  • How Maddalena is inspiring kids in small towns to dream big.
