Hey Lisa--Thanks!

And I just wanted to thank everyone for your fabulous, thoughtful questions. Dominique chose which questions she wanted to cover in the interview and she had some juicy ones to pick from. I thought her advice for parents around getting your daughter into gymnastics was helpful--not to sign them up only with dreams of gold. I would have liked to get more into the culture of gymnastics as far as what are the downsides for girls' self-esteem--from eating disorders to burn out. I think parents always want more help/insight to navigate these tough issues. And I was surprised that she said she personally needed to be pushed by her coaches in her career--she was real about the fact that many athletes need that to be their best including her.

She talked about learning to love her body for all it enables her to do--as a gymnast and today--and I love that take-away message from someone who means it. I also love that she is bringing that perspective to the work she is doing on behalf of girls. I think Dominique is a great role model--she is someone who's had many dreams for herself and continues to create a vision for her life where she is inspired and inspires others.

Thanks for the fun Blogher!
