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!
