Soul took part in two winter Olympics. In 2002, in Salt Lake City, he was the captain of the US national skeleton team and took seventh place in the competition. The performance in Turin in 2006 was even less successful - at the end of the races, the athlete was only in the twenty-fifth position, which led him to decide to end his career as a professional skeletonist.
