How to wrap an ankle in sports depends on the kind of injury, if it is a sprain you probably want to wrap pre-wrap around your ankle and the bottom of your foot and your ankle. Then you want to take some heavy-duty athletic tape and cover the area that you pre-wrapped, wrapping the tape around your ankle and under your foot.
There are braces that one can wear to support their ankle after they have sprained it. The brace will go on each side of the ankle as well as down and around the bottom of the foot. They usually cost around 20-30 dollars. One could also wrap their ankle with an ace bandage. One would want to wrap in a similar manner as the brace (around the ankle and then down around the foot). Large pharmacy stores (like Walgreens or Rite Aid) usually sell ace bandages and a few ankle braces. One should check with their doctor first, however, to make sure it is not a more serious injury.
