Rob Pannell, a lacrosse legend, holds the record for all-time points in outdoor lacrosse, achieved during his years at Cornell. Kirst credits Pannell as a mentor since his college days and expresses admiration for the historic record.

He also talks about the excitement surrounding lacrosse's potential inclusion in the Olympics and the Global Lacrosse Games, expressing his appreciation for Pannell's remarkable career and hoping to achieve similar success in the sport.
