Where to learn trading & to build a good track record for a HF

I am wondering where and how to learn professional trading with the goal of having a strong track record, being seen by investors as an emerging talent, and working as a trader at a HF or setting up your own. 

Additionally I want to use this knowledge for my own asset and wealth management structure. 

What do you guys think?
