Shaun White and Michael Phelps, both are the respective legends of their sports and have been enjoying close bonding since they appeared together at the Olympics. With six years difference in their retirement announcement, the 36-year-old told about his whole journey and how Phleps' advice brought peace in his life.

When Shaun turned to swimming legend for post-retirement advice

In his latest interview with Guardian, Shaun White revealed that after his final competition at last February's Winter Olympics, he turned to Michael Phelps to grapple with post-retirement realities.

What advice did Phelps give to Shaun?

"They said that I’d want to fill the void or hole that sports gave me, but I need to relax and be OK with the nothingness and I’d eventually find something to focus on," Shaun explained the Phelps' advice.
