About Us This internship is hosted by
PAI (Precision Athletics Intelligence) , a new AI athletic program by

— one of the most elite basketball-focused high schools in the U.S.
PSA has won
5 National Prep School Basketball Championships

The school’s mission is to deliver
world‑class private high school education
while developing players for
NCAA and NBA levels

Deliver structured feedback to coaches and players within minutes
This product is aiming China Market and it will serve elite athletes and coaching staff immediately, with long‑term potential to scale across teams and domains.
Your Role As an ML intern, you'll work on the core computer vision pipelines that power the system.
Responsibilities
Use or fine‑tune models like
YOLOv8 ,
OpenPose , or
MediaPipe
Build pipelines to extract training insights from video
Process raw frames into structured data (e.g. player tracking, shot detection)
Evaluate models on accuracy, reliability, and latency
Deliver usable outputs via APIs to frontend/dev teams
Write modular, reproducible code for experimentation and iteration
Core Skills
Strong Python skills; comfortable with Jupyter, scripting, and code structure
Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow — or fast learning capability
Comfortable using OpenCV and working with image/video data
Familiar with Git and collaborative development environments
Fluent spoken Chinese (Mandarin)
Mindset
Has
real confidence
in their ability to learn fast and figure things out independently
Can take
vague or high‑level product goals , and turn them into working code
Works through ambiguity with speed, structure, and clarity
Cares about doing real work that gets used — not just academic experiments

Who Can Apply
Undergraduates

Self‑taught engineers
— if you’ve built real things, we want to see them
We value your ability to build and think clearly over your academic label.
Why This Matters This is not a typical early‑stage internship.
While our tech team is just starting out, our platform isn’t. You’ll be building within a system that already has:
A
championship‑level basketball program
Immediate real‑world users: athletes and coaches with daily training needs
A founder with full access to decision‑making, facilities, and execution
A high‑trust environment where things move fast, and feedback is real
In many ways, PSA provides what most startups seek after Y Combinator:
A live environment, institutional support, immediate demand, and the room to build and scale
If you have:
Strong learning ability
Clear technical thinking
Ambition to turn huge ideas into real systems
…and you’re excited by sports, education, AI, and building things from scratch — you’ll thrive here.
