Well, his girlfriend has advised him to prepare a list of things he wants to do, now that he is retired from the game. Shaun told AP in an interview, “I’ve been to the house parties and stuff.

Coaching is the most common profession players pursue after retirement. A man with over 20 years of experience in snowboarding will surely have a lot to teach to young snowboarders. Though as exciting as it may sound, Shaun hasn’t given it much thought.
He said, “I would need time before I did something like that, and it would have to be a very special situation, but definitely supporting in some capacity would be very enjoyable, I think.”
However, White will be soon launching a snowboard brand ‘Whitespace’ along with his brother Jesse.

On the decision of retirement, he said, “The initial competitive reaction was, ‘Oh, I almost had the podium and I want to come back and try that again. It’s one of the things that’s driven me to be one of the best in sports. But I think I’m going to enjoy this new lifestyle much better.”
