Two Sport College Athlete

I am transferring into a top NESCAC school from a flagship state school where I played baseball for a top tier program. When I transfer in I will be playing two sports there and I will come in as a sophomore, but due to one of my sports requiring that I play in summer leagues I have not and will not likely have the opportunity to do any summer internships before I apply for a full time position. At the moment I have 3.6 with majors in Economics and French; I speak French fluently. My goal is to end up at a firm in New York and my interest is in ST, specifically on the sales side as I believe I would enjoy the work and excel at it. My question is, will my lack of experience in finance hold me back in nay way? Any additional insight/guidance would be great.
