How can i strengthen my ankles so that i can prevent injuring my ankles, and jump higher.

Balance: The easiest is to work on your balance. Stand on 1 foot at a time - increase the amount of time you do this and add some opposite leg movements to challenge yourself as you improve. Go to About.com - they have good exercises for lots of orthopedic problems.
