[23] [24] Kyle's grandfather was a Major in the Army. [25] Kyle wore the number 18 as his father did during his playing years. Although his father influenced Kyle's decision to play lacrosse, he was never pressured to do so. Growing up, Kyle's favorite athlete was Michael Jordan.

He was about making his teammates better and making them more confident.” [32]
