How 2026 Joleigh Richards Embraced Her Inspiring Path to Excellence at the USA HPP Event
For Joleigh Richards, a catcher and corner infielder for Impact Caymol National Soliz 18U, softball has always been more than a sport—it’s a passion. Growing up in Midlothian, Texas, she dreamed of representing her sport on the grandest stages. That dream began to take shape when she first heard about the USA HPP National Selection Event through social media. Captivated by the stories of the U-15 Women’s National Team, she set her sights on becoming a part of this prestigious program.
Richards didn’t just dream; she acted. For the past two years, she earned direct invitations to the event in Vero Beach, Florida. Her journey to HPP is a testament to her relentless pursuit of excellence.
