While White was living in Colorado Springs at the US Olympic Training Center, he injured his back preventing him from competing and causing severe pain. White went through 9 months of failed medical treatments and did not train. It was not until he received treatment from a Chiropractor did he start to feel better and was able to compete in the 1988 Summer Olympic Games.
