Hey Stripe - try this. Fill a plastic soda bottle with water and put it in the freezer (fill it almost to the to be leave room for the ice to expand). Then just roll your foot back and forth over it. It both ices the area and gently stretches those muscles and tendons. Then, before a game, put a soda bottle filled with water in the microwave for two minutes or so and roll your foot back and forth to stretch out the muscles and tendons - then use the iced bottle right after the game.
