 That's more water and potassium than it is stretching.  Eat a banana or two the day of a game and drink plenty of water.  Or take potassium tablets if you don't like bananas.

 If I had a choice between a partner with a quick whistle and one with a slow whistle, I'd pick the slow whistle everytime.  There's nothing wrong with a slow whistle.  Your opportunity here is to become confident enough to recognize the infraction, make the call or understand there was no advantage/disadvantage and don't call anything.
Good luck!
