What would a day in the life of a sports attorney be like?

Sports attorneys basically just work on contracts or regulations (laws). So there is a lot of reading, researching, and writing, in addition to negotiation.

I think it is a difficult field to enter, so I would caution against going to law school if you ONLY want to be a sports lawyer. There are plenty of other areas of law if you can't get into sports law.

To be honest, becoming a lawyer is very EXPENSIVE (my law loans are almost $200,000) and time-consuming (law school takes 3 years). And only worth it if you really want to be a lawyer. It's a professional degree and really only good for that.

While you're in college, you can try getting a legal internship, try out a mock trial team/debate team if your school has it, and take legal classes your school offers. You also want to work on legal writing, being a lawyer is a lot of writing and research. These classes and activities can give you a glimpse of what the law is about.

After college,I would recommend going to work for a law firm as a legal assistant or paralegal first. You can get an idea what the practice of law is like, and do that for at least a few years. Become a very good paralegal, and you may want to just do that. You can possibly earn pretty decent money and not be saddled with a ton a debt from law school.

Hopefully you would find what you need in the interview below.
