A member asked:

Best way to prevent ankle injuries when playing field hockey?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brace: Aside from wearing proper shoes for the sport, i would recommend wearing a lace up ankle brace. You can get these at most pharmacys. They should be slim enough to fit into your shoes and would give you added support to prevent some common ankle injuries.
