Practicing cold calling
Currently 17 and waiting until I’m 18 to get my first property under contract to keep myself motivated I have been getting leads in my free time just so I can get the hang of it and understand it more, however I haven’t called anyone yet because I didn’t want to call if I wasn’t serious about getting it under contract yet but I was just wondering what some of the wholesalers in this forum might think.

@Ricky Cover why not start making those calls now? If you have no expectation of doing a deal , you will be more relaxed and be ready when a real deal comes along.
If your goal was to go to compete in the Olympics, would you say to yourself "I am not good enough yet, I will start training when I get there"
