Steve Bode, a former Marquette University High School standout and Marquette University men's soccer assistant coach, was officially announced as an assistant coach with the MU women's soccer program on Feb. 18, 2020.
Bode spent the 2019 season as a men’s assistant coach at Loyola Chicago, where he helped the Ramblers to an 11-5-4 record, a Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship and a NCAA Championship appearance. LUC fell at Kentucky in overtime in the first round of the NCAA tournament and Bode coached 2019 MVC Player of the Year and MLS draftee Aidan Megally.
An MLS draftee in 2008, Bode recently worked as the head coach for the Chicago FC United of the United Soccer Leagues' (USL) League Two. In 2018, the team captured the central conference championship and advanced to the league semifinal under his tutelage. That team included recent MU men’s players Martin Alba, Luis Barraza, Luka Prpa and Alan Salmeron.Â
A native of Milwaukee, Bode earned his United States Soccer Federation (USSF) A-Senior License in September 2018. He works as a scout for U.S. Soccer identifying top talent for national teams as well as an assistant coach with the U14 and U15 youth national teams.
Bode spent a season at Brown University as an assistant coach in 2016. During that campaign, he played a key role in the development of six student-athletes that earned All-Ivy League selections.
Prior to Brown, he spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Marquette, where he was named to the CollegeSoccerNews.com's Top Assistant Coaches list during his tenure with the Golden Eagles. During his eight seasons, Bode helped secure numerous top-15 ranked recruiting classes as well as assisted in the development of 10 players who signed professional contracts, including four MLS draft selections.
In 2013, Bode helped coach a Marquette squad that reached its first-ever Sweet 16 prior to falling to the eventual national semifinalist Virginia Cavaliers. The postseason run capped one of the most historic seasons in program history that featured BIG EAST regular season and tournament championships.
In 2012, Marquette earned the No. 7 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, its first NCAA postseason appearance since 1997. In 2011, Bode was a member of the Marquette staff that earned BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year honors after claiming their first BIG EAST Conference championship.
Bode played for MU men’s head coach Louis Bennett during his collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee after starring at Marquette University High School. Bode was twice named UWM’s Most Valuable Player, was three-year team captain and three-time All-Horizon League selection. He was named the Horizon League's Newcomer of the Year after the 2003 season and went on to earn Third Team CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors in 2005.
Bode was the anchor of UWM's defensive units, helping guide the Panthers to the second round of the NCAA tournament in each of his first two seasons on the field. UWM also captured two Horizon League regular season championships and three Horizon League Tournament titles.
The Panthers won a total of 43 games in the four seasons Bode played. After wrapping up his career at UWM, Bode was drafted by the Chicago Fire in the MLS supplemental draft, and was also taken by the Milwaukee Wave.
While at Marquette University High School, Bode was the Greater Metro Conference Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002 and helped lead the Hilltoppers to four consecutive WIAA state titles.
Bode earned his bachelor’s degree from Milwaukee in 2008 and a master’s degree in educational policy and leadership from Marquette in 2011. He has also been involved with Athletes in Action, CRU and the KEFA Project as an athlete and coach.
Bode and his wife, Ashley, reside in Milwaukee with their two sons, Miles and George.
