His parents separated before his second birthday, and his mother later remarried E.V. McMichael, an oil company executive whose surname McMichael adopted.

He has three other siblings: older brother John Richard and younger sisters Kathy and Sharon.

The family moved to Freer, where he attended Freer High School.

In his senior year, he lettered in six sports: football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis and golf.

Baseball was his preferred sport, and whilst playing as a catcher, he batted .450 in his senior year, garnering attention from the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds.

McMichael's performances for his high school football team saw him being offered scholarships by 75 institutions.

He decided to attend the University of Texas at Austin.

The Patriots, yeah, they thought I was a little weird. And I guess I am. But here they don't care, long as you play hard. The town, the coach, the team — it's Steve McMichael. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

"For 13 years, I helped the Bears beat the Packers every year. I whupped their ass, right? So the last year, I went up there on my last leg and I wasn't any good anymore. So I stole their money and whipped their ass again!"
