Being able to utilize both hands has been a focal point throughout the offseason for Valley Center’s Austin Saner.
One of the ways I need to improve my game is definitely my left hand,” Saner said. “I have been working my left hand very hard to get it feeling like my dominant hand.”
Saner has been playing basketball at Valley Center for three years and it has now become a family affair.
“I’ve had so much fun playing basketball these last three years,” Saner said. “One of those guys being my brother Bryson. He’s always been there for me pushing me in practice and just making me a better player overall. I couldn’t be more excited to play with these guys.”
There are plenty of goals Saner has his eyes on this season.
“A goal I have for myself this year is to achieve first team all-state and first all-league,” Saner said. “Another goal I have for myself is to just go play basketball. I feel as if I play better when I go out there and play, have fun and enjoy the game. A team goal I have is to win. Coming off of last year, many teams are looking down on us but I know with the guys I have I know we can be a threat this year.”
