Michael Bumpus is a former D1 football player who played for Washington State University. There, he was a 4-year starter, Freshman All-American and All PAC-10 in his positions as Punt Returner and Wide Receiver. During his time in The Paolouse he tallied 197 catches, 500 punt return yards and 3 punt returns for touchdowns-- all school records. His senior year he was voted a team captain by his peers. While at WSU he studied Human Development because of his love for working with the youth.
Following school, Michael signed as a free agent with the Seattle Seahawks. He was on the practice squad for 3 weeks before being promoted to the active roster. He scored a TD and lead the conference in punt return yard average in 2008. Shortly after his second season with Seattle, Michael signed with the BC Lions in Canada. In 2011, he decided to hang up the cleats and focus on player development.
In addition to being owner of ETA and the founder of the ETA 7v7 Program, Michael is also the HC for MHS Varsity Football, and a sports analyst with ROOT Sports and ESPN 710.

Training Philosophy:
Train the body AND the mind!
Holistic health is the basis of my training philosophy regardless of if the person training is a highly developed athlete, or an average person working to live a healthier life. Ultimately, athlete or not, every person is a human being who must live life day to day. Therefore, I strive to bring a well balanced approach to my clients’ physical and mental needs. I am constantly researching new innovative ways to help improve my workouts and training methods in order to accomplish this goal. Technique, Core Strength, Mobility/Flexibility, Explosiveness, and Mental/Strength Acuity, are the pillars that I build my programming off of for both my athlete clients and fitness clients.
I can’t wait to work with you and bring you into the ETA Family!
