Ep. 176 | Gene Monahan (Hendrick Motorsports)

Gene Monahan retired from the New York Yankees after 40+ years and now works with Hendrick Motorsports. This week we meet Monahan and go into what his role is with the championship-winning NASCAR organization; how Jay Frye played a part in Monahan’s transition; his early memories of becoming a racing fan in Florida; what transferred from the job in MLB to NASCAR, and still working with athletes; what resources Hendrick athletes have at their disposal; what Monahan is monitoring with the athletes; what makes a great athlete to work with; why the transition was hard at first; the Yankee comparison with Hendrick Motorsports; what Monahan had to learn about his new sport; the difference between MLB game day and NASCAR race day; if he’s able to watch the Yankees again; what it was like working for George Steinbrenner; what it has been like to be around talent in both MLB and NASCAR; things Monahan is enjoying in NC that he didn’t have in NY; what he does away from work; what he gets joy and fulfillment from these days.
