I’ve been playing for around 9 years, self taught through playing, and have gotten pretty decent but I have never had any coaching and thus have potentially missed out on some key techniques.

as the title suggests, I have multiple ankle injuries. they would happen in one of two ways:

1. my foot (outside foot) getting hit by the ball when I use it to block a hard hit cross or shot and spraining

2. my foot would be fine blocking the cross but my foot would land wrong on the ground, causing a sprain

Why does this keep happening? How do you all prevent or stop this? any training to prevent or block the right way?

I rarely see this happening to the players around me so I must be doing something wrong.
