<\/iframe> \nNote: YouTube Measures Views Only For Episodes Watched On YouTube.com <\/p>\nGear, a member of the Capital One Academic All-District team, wants to be a film writer and director, and talks about his critical studies major at USC\u2019s prestigious film school. He names Steven Spielberg as an inspiration and discusses the ABC show that he\u2019ll work on as an intern this summer. In the pool, he\u2019s changed from a platform diver to the springboard, brought on by back issues. He talks about re-learning the sport and the fellow diver who impressed him with a nearly impossible dive recently.
