Olympic and X-games athlete, Shaun White, is far more than what the average eye would expect. White, while also training year round for snowboarding, also participates as the "Bad Things" lead guitarist. This band has been invited to perform at many festivals, such as Lollapalooza acting as headliner. White has been quoted by Rolling Stones magazine saying that he "drops everything for these guys." Although snowboarding and skating are important to him, he will often place his band and bandmates before himself.
Shaun White leads a life full of adventure and leaves no task undone or even half done, which is visible through all of his accomplishments. Since being discovered by Tony Hawk, his first sponsorship at age 7, and numerous medals from the X- Games and Olympics, White was declared number 2 on the power 100 of the most powerful athletes. Shaun White has set a bar of excellence that any athlete could strive to achieve in any sport.
