How to network successfully in sports photography and sports graphics?

How do network in the field of graphic design and photography? I always feel strange and awkward trying to talk to other designers and photographers because I feel like I am interrupting them. I want to stand out to people and have them think of me for internships and job shadowing, but I am lost in how to do that. But I know the only way to succeed in that field is by creating those relationships to get my dream jobs like taking photos and making graphics for a professional sports team, but how do I do it?
