Career
Soccer
Steup's football career began at the Wuppertal district association SSV Sudberg. From 1994 to 1999 he finally played for Wuppertaler SV (WSV), in the 1999/2000 season in the second team of Bayer 04 Leverkusen and from 2000 to the end of the 2004 season again for the WSV, both in midfield. In the 2003/04 season, when the WSV was represented in what was then the Regionalliga Nord and only just missed promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga in fourth place , Steup played ten competitive games for the club. This was also Steup's most successful season as a football player. He was then signed by SC Verl . He let his career end in Wuppertal at FSV Vohwinkel until 2008 .
Roller hockey
In his youth, the 1.89 m tall athlete regularly picked up a hockey stick on roller skates in addition to playing football. Steup was already the fitness and assistant coach of RSC Cronenberg when he was promoted to head coach of the roller hockey Bundesliga team for the 2004/05 season . He has led him to five national championships and three cup wins since 2005. In the meantime he also trained the women of the RSC called Dbody Cats and won national titles with them. At the end of 2008 he was surprisingly appointed as the successor to the Dutchman Johan van Diejen as coach of the national roller hockey team. The association became aware of Steup through its national titles and international experience in the Champions League. In July the national team competed under his leadership at the roller hockey world championship in Vigo ( Spain ) and finished third in group D, behind Italy and France, ahead of England. At the men's European championship in Wuppertal in June 2010, he just missed the desired medal with a 3-1 defeat after extra time and penalty shoot-out in the game for third place against France.
The successes mentioned met with approval in the city. In 2010, for example, the club was named Wuppertal Club of the Year , and in the same year Steup received the Wuppertal Trainer of the Year award .
