A couple items: first, you may want to read up on text
objects...there are "inner word" and "inner WORD" text objects
that may simplify your selection:

norm yiw

without needing to move around the end-point anchors of a visual
selection.

Additionally, for scripting purposes, you may be interested in

expand('<cword>')

For more info, you can read at

:help iw
:help text-object
:help expand()
