Incoming MBA Summer Analyst at a market neutral HF. How can I best prepare?

Background is PE + H/S MBA. Very used to the buy and hold mentality and feeling a bit anxious about how to perform given market neutral + shorter horizons.
Heard return rate is low and wanted to put my best foot forward - pretty chill right now since recruiting has wrapped up and have plenty of time to get ready. Would appreciate any pointers on how to best prepare!
