Dominique Dawes

Dominique Dawes is best known for her tremendous success as an Olympic gymnast; she competed in three Olympic Games, won team medals in all three Olympics Games, becoming the only American gymnast to do so, and has a permanent place in the U.S. Olympic Committee Hall of Fame.

Throughout her career, Dawes has won more National Championship medals than any other athlete, male or female, since 1963, as well as numerous World Championship medals. Dawes is much more than an accomplished gymnast, though. After retiring from the sport to which she dedicated 18 years of her life, Dawes has found a new passion empowering others. She is an accomplished motivational speaker, speaking to audiences of hundreds and thousands on topics focusing on passion, leadership, teamwork, health, fitness and wellness.

Dawes’ message empowers vast audiences, from corporate executives to small business owners, women’s organizations to youth service organizations, and high school to college-age students; her passion and energy is captivating and leaves a lasting effect on those she inspires. Since Dawes’ first passion in life was gymnastics, she continues to educate those on the grassroots level. She hosts “FUNdamentals with Dominique Dawes” – one-day gymnastics clinics for competitive-level gymnasts of all ages, with a focus on fundamentals, goal-setting, and mental toughness. Read more…
