I sprained my right ankle a few years ago in basketball two times and i was wondering if theres any exercise it to get it stronger because my right ankle is weak compared to my left ankle and i cant really balance as good on my right ankle?

Need proper rehab: Ankle sprains recur if not properly rehabilitated, especially balance. Start jumping rope for 2 minutes. When that is easy, switch from one foot to the other back and forth for the 2 minutes. That will restore your balance best. If sprains continue, see an orthopedic surgeon as the ligaments may need to be reconstructed or there may be additional injuries.
