Jumps the OTHER way 

Polite way for a broadcaster to say both:

1. US figure skater Johnny Weir takes off for his jumps in the opposite direction as the other figure skaters

2. US figure skater Johnny Weir is the gayest thing on ice.

The second may now be used to describe things outside of figure skating.
"Watch how Johnny Weir goes into his jumps, he jumps the other way"

"Dude, why are you still watching men's figure skating? Are you starting to jump the other way?

He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
