My best friend is a sports superstar, but he's got weak ankles... they sprain if he so much as trips. Is there anything he can do to strengthen them? He's thin; weight's not an issue. He's also a runner, and he's only 19, so his health is still good.

The friend could make a couple of sand bags. I knew someone who did this for weak ankles and knees. He made a loop for each foot and ankle to slip through. He lay on the bed and slowly lifted each leg in turn - not too heavy - your friend should test this before starting. Not more than he can cope with but still be able to feel some pressure on lifting.
The friend went on to become a top triathlete by the way. Worth a try that's for sure.

Ive got injured ankles and the best way to strengthen them is there isn't any way to. Humans have really fragile joints.

SPORTS SUPERSTARS DON'T HAVE WEAK ANKLES...
WANNABEES HAVE WEAK ANKLES!
