This is a basic ankle inversion taping to assist in preventing inversion sprains. Note that prior to starting the tape job you would at first prep the skin with an adhesive spray such as tuff-skin.
You will also need to check for contraindications if you are unfamiliar with the athlete (or the injury) such as: allergies, fractures, skin lesions, infections etc.
The athlete has to hold the ankle in 90 degrees of dorsiflexion for the duration. If the foot flops around the tape becomes loose and ineffective.
After finishing the tape job, you would ensure that the circulation wasn't occluded. Simply pinch one of the toes and watch the capillary refill...if it occurs in less than 10 seconds you are fine.
You would also not stabilize the ankle with tape unless the athlete had full range of motion and 90% strength tested isometrically.
