If you’ve ever broken an arm or even a finger, you know difficult things can be when you’re using just one hand.

For Zach Hodskins, such troubles are just a part of everyday life after he was born without a left hand.

But rather than letting it get him down, Hodskins has gone on to do what many people could only dream of by playing college basketball for the University of Florida.

Having missed the first five shots of his career, Hodskins nailed a tough lay-up and even drew a foul in the process. And just look at how happy his team-mates are for him.
