The Life of Steve Bode

Bode holds his United Soccer Federation A-Senior License and works as a scout with the U14 youth national team. Drafted into Major League Soccer as an 2008 MLS draftee, most recently he led Chicago FC United in USL League Two to an unprecedented Central Conference Championship and playoff appearance under his guidance.

Early Life and Education

Pauline (Donnell) Bode was an irrepressibly loving wife and mother who took great joy in enjoying life’s simple pleasures – such as catching snowflakes on her tongue or taking advantage of being first row seat during an electric Kansas thunderstorm.

After graduating high school, she embarked on her career in business by working for a local newspaper as a reporter for several years before meeting and marrying Bill Bode in 1957.

Bode was instrumental in rebuilding Marquette’s standing within the A-10 Conference during his time at Marquette, leading his players with a chip-on-shoulder mentality to reach the A-10 championship, coming within one penalty kick of making it into the NCAA tournament and reaching it themselves. They now plan to return in 2023.

Professional Career

Bode Equipment offers material handling and dock/door solutions for warehousing facilities, boasting a diverse portfolio of products and services to the warehousing industry, with new and pre-owned equipment inventory as well as an experienced service department.

Bode, who played under Louis Bennett at MU, helped the Panthers capture two Horizon League regular season and tournament championships during his collegiate career. He started all 83 matches he participated in while being twice honored as team MVP.

Once his playing career ended, Bode landed assistant coaching positions at Providence College and Brown University before serving as a scout for U.S. Soccer, helping identify talent for U14 and U15 youth national teams. In September 2018 he earned an A-Senior License through United Soccer Leagues’ League Two coach Chicago FC United where several of their players progressed into Major League Soccer (MLS).

Furthermore, Bode helped Loyola recover its confidence and performance after COVID season was cancelled in 2020.

As a player, Bode was twice honored with Milwaukee Panthers Most Valuable Player honors and started in all 83 of their games over his career. Additionally, he won the Herman Kluge award for academic and athletic achievement as well as community service.

Bode led the Ramblers to an A-10 Championship runner-up finish during his inaugural year as head coach, attributing it to effective communication with players and their strong “chip-on-your-shoulder” mentality. He hopes this approach continues into conference transition season.
