Ankle Mobility – Increase Range of Motion for Football Players
Watch how to perform Ankle Mobility drills to prepare your joints for football training.
How to Do Ankle Mobility
Stand facing a wall with one foot forward and one back.
Keep your heel on the ground and bend your front knee toward the wall.
Move slowly to feel a stretch in the ankle and calf.
Return to the start and repeat for the set time.
Perform for 30–45 seconds per leg.
Why Ankle Mobility Matters
Good ankle mobility helps football players move freely, absorb impact, and reduce injury risk.
For football players, this means:
Better agility in quick direction changes.
Reduced ankle sprain risk.
Improved control in dribbling and balance drills.
This simple drill is essential for preparing the lower body before high-intensity training.
