LYNNWOOD — Joe Whitworth has taught the art of taekwondo for around four decades. He’s coached the highest level of the sport for the past 10 years. Whitworth has endured some difficult discussions with his pupils during his time training some of the sport’s elite prospects. He’s told former students that they simply cannot advance any further. That they’ve reached the ceiling their talent and skill will allow. That it’s time to pivot to a new hobby, or a new phase of their athletic career.

Perhaps on paper, Brian Schmetzer might’ve been satisfied with a draw. The Sounders were on the road. Playing the Portland Timbers, their fierce Cascadia rival that was unbeaten in its previous three games and currently sits ahead of the Sounders in the Western Conference standings. Schmetzer’s team was coming off a disappointing midweek loss on short rest. Portland’s lone goal was scored in the first half, not a late spirit-crushing equalizer.
