Hi, I Am Eli Kimche

Founder of the Athlete Recruitment Code (ARC)

I created ARC to help families navigate the recruiting journey with clarity — not confusion or pressure. As a former Division I athlete and long-time mentor to student-athletes, I’ve seen how talent alone isn’t enough… structure, academics, confidence, and the right guidance make the difference.

​​ARC exists to give parents and athletes the systems, perspective, and support I wish more families had earlier in the process.
