Breaking into a hedge fund from a professional sports background

Quick background: Graduated from a target school with a STEM degree (shit GPA of 3.0), interned at SpaceX, an NBA team, and Capital One.

My friend who works at a prop shop said I would be good as a hedge fund analyst bc "you might not have the raw quantitative skills to work as a quant, but you are hardworking, smart, and have an interesting background so you should look into hedge fund analyst jobs".

I'm not sure the best way to go about these, do I work with headhunters, just email / cold call?

Thanks for sharing your insight.
