Can't help you with the sprained ankle but what position do you play in football (soccer)?

Just go and race, the pain will go away when the 30 sec board comes up. If not you should stick to soccer...

i play indoor soccer, just like once a week for fun, it consists of 5 players teams, so you pretty much run all over the field... but i like to stay up, i am not that good at defending haha

Pressure; wrap it with a tensor bandage from your toes up,

ICE; 20 mins each 4- 6 times a day

Rest; lay on the couch watch moto movies and keep your ankle above your head.

lots of advil.

don't tell your competion your hurt and of course it's gonna hurt.

Yep, listen to the guy who tells you to race and you will end up just like me, with an ankle that can't move. When I was younger I had a really bad sprained, the doctor told me 2 weeks without putting my foot on the ground, didn't listen to him, now my ankle is fucked up, can move it from top to bottom but not on sides (sorry for the Frenglish). It depends on the gravity of the sprain, just go and listen to your Dr, don't kid with a joint, that's my advice...

I'm with TMV. Don't mess with an ankle, go get it checked.
I didn't pay attention in my youth, and now paying the price. Hole in the cartilage, bone growth... 3 surgeries, the last one microfracture to try and help with cartilage growth. 2 months with no weight on the foot for nothing because it doesn't really work.
The thing I miss most is indoor soccer. Greatest way to stay in shape. But it could be worse, I can still ski and ride MX.
I can trace it all back to one major sprain riding a dirt bike on the snow.

Sprained ankles are often worse than a break because people don't take care of them. It's only one race. Skip it and let your body heal.

Tape it up and suck it up. These people don't know what's best for you.

If your sure it's just an ankle sprain I would still go to my family doctor or local ortho and get an xray to make sure there is no fracture. If no fracture then physical therapy for a few weeks to help strengthen it. As far as racing goes, is this just another race or a points race? If you must race next weekend, then brace it or tape to make it through the weekend. You will still need to have some therapy to strengthen it. Also check your boots to check for wear around the ankle area. it may be time to replace those boots if they are worn out.

Sounds like a mild ankle sprain. If you can I would still get it checked out to be on the safe side.
