weak ankle, is there anything I can do to strenthen it?

So i've always ben athletic, played soccer a lot, been skateboarding since i was a kid and still do. With skating you move your ankle a lot with the way you flick the board and what not. I've been noticing lately when I go to skate if i land on my foot a certain way I get a sharp pain in my ankle even if i haven't actually fallen on it. It feels like it's forever been sore and weak. Is there anything I can do to fix that? my other ankle doesn't feel that bad but my right one bugs me quite a bit. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated

    I would suggest a wobble board. You can do various exercises, like rocks back and forth and side to side, and circles clockwise and anti-clockwise. They are not expensive. I used one because I wanted to strengthen my ankles to improve my one leg balances for gymnastics and I was surprised how quickly I saw an effect.
