## Resource

Welcome back to the Overrated vs Underrated series, where I break down common exercises, drills, and so-called "fixes" for mobility limitations and nagging injuries. In today's episode, we're focusing on ankle mobility, one of the original mobility hot topics and most commonly searched for exercises. I'll walk through a few ankle mobility drills or approaches that tend to be recommended far more than they deserve, explain why they often don't lead to meaningful change, and then share the approaches I find to be far more effective and transferable. This episode is about helping you think more clearly about ankle mobility instead of just doing more of it. Whether you're a coach or movement professional looking to sharpen your approach, or someone who's been working on their ankles without seeing the progress you expect, this conversation will help you understand what actually moves the needle.
