  • When you're out there in the heat of the moment and your pitching, it's a

  • big situation.

  • You're saying, don't throw a ball, don't give up a hit,

  • don't walk this guy.

  • The harder you want to control something, the more it gets out of

  • your control.

  • And you want to get the outside corner of the pitch.

  • If all you think about is, I'm going to hit that, aim it right there, hit

  • it right there, that's the last place it's going to go go.

  • But when you have in the back of your mind where you're supposed to throw

  • it, and then just say, I'm going to throw it as hard as I can, right at

  • that glove-- if you just say that, it will be around there more often than

  • not, if you've done the preparation, and the mechanics and

  • everything is there.

  • It's almost the same in life.

  • The more you try and grip control of your life, the more God's going to

  • untangle that from you.

  • He's going to make things go to where you have to rely on Him.

  • I was just so worried.

  • I was so worried all the time.

  • My parents got divorced when I was 10.

  • I had so much anxiety about my own life.

  • If there was something that needed to get done, I'd rather do it myself than

  • let other people do it for me.

  • Just stuff that I couldn't control, that I was worried about.

  • My mom and I were trying to figure out how college was going to be a feasible

  • option for us.

  • You know, it's going to be so expensive that I can't

  • afford to do that.

  • I didn't know what to do on my own.

  • When I relinquished all control of my life was the day I got drafted.

  • That was life changing.

  • That was something that even talking about now chokes me up, just because

  • it's just amazing the providence God had in my life.

  • God was there the whole time.

  • I just didn't bother to look.

  • I never thought in a million years I'd ever get to play professional

  • baseball, get to play in the major leagues, get to live out my dream.

  • Since I was a kid, that's all I ever wanted to do.

  • But at the same time, if you're playing baseball, why

  • are you playing baseball?

  • Is to have good success on the field and be a Hall-of-Famer

  • or whatever it is?

  • Sure, that's everybody's goal.

  • But then what?

  • For me, it's about the legacy you leave off the field.

  • It's about how many people can I affect through the platform

  • that He gave me.

  • I got to go to Africa last year with my wife, Ellen.

  • She's been working with some kids over there that she's gotten

  • to go back and see.

  • One particularly has a touched her heart, and her name is Hope.

  • And she's a double orphan.

  • Both her parents have died from AIDS.

  • You see the cloud in her eyes and know she's scared.

  • Ellen just gave the quickest version of the Good News that

  • she possibly could.

  • And that's all it takes for people in Zambia.

  • It's like they've been waiting their whole lives for somebody

  • just to tell them.

  • And it changed my life.

  • We just started a home called Hope's Home, in honor of

  • Hope, this little girl.

  • And it's going to be an orphanage for about 12 kids.

  • And we just bought the land for it.

  • And hopefully within the next year, we'll see the orphanage built, and

  • we'll see the kids put in the home.

  • We're just an avenue.

  • We're just doing the part that God gave us.

  • You can't think, oh, yeah, we can change this whole country ourselves.

  • No, but God can--

  • and one more reason to let go of control.

  • Playing for the Dodgers in LA is just saying that.

  • It's amazing.

  • It's ridiculous.

  • The prayer I say before I go out there and pitch is not "God, let me win

  • today," or "God, help me pitch good." It's "God, just be with me."

  • With all the different people and different cultures and different

  • religions, you can just kind of become one of the crowd.

  • You've got to keep reminding yourself that you're supposed to stand out.

  • And you're supposed to be different.

  • And you're supposed to act boldly in your faith.

  • It's definitely not easy, not a great conversation starter sometimes.

  • But it's worth the fight.

  • Clayton Kershaw led the National League in victories, ERA, and strikeouts in 2011.

  • He is he youngest pitcher to win the Cy Young Award since 1985.

  • Whether it be pitching on a baseball mound or living my life outside of the

  • baseball field, it's giving up my life to God that really

  • puts my life in control.

  • My name is Clayton Kershaw.

  • And I am second.
