Coach Thompson, a 65 year-old man, retired from a successful career as a high school basketball coach. He had a wonderful month, when people sent him cards and gifts and everything seemed very exciting. At first, he was enthusiastic about his retirement and had plans to travel with his wife. After finding his leisure time less exciting and fulfilling than his old job, Coach Thompson became depressed and began to drink too much alcohol. After about six months of AA, he quit drinking; decided to write a book about high school basketball; and contacted the local YMCA to determine if he could assist with their sports programs. The phase of retirement Coach has entered is called the ___________________phase of retirement?
