Simone Biles is the subject of a new Facebook Watch docuseries, which will give fans an up-close look at the athlete’s personal story.

Facebook Watch recently released a trailer for the show, dubbed Simone vs Herself, and it viewers inside her life as she gets ready to compete in the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games.

“This is my first world medal,” Biles says in the opening of the trailer, holding up her prized award from 2013.

“I remember my coach telling me, ‘You can’t do anything wrong at this point. Go out there and make a name for yourself. You have nothing to lose.’ And I was like, ‘You know what, you’re right, I am a nobody!'” Biles adds, joking.

Biles received the title of all-around world champion at the young age 16 in Antwerp in 2013. She’s also America’s most decorated gymnast.

Simone vs Herself debuts next Tuesday (June 15). The seven-part series was directed by Gotham Chopra. Watch the full trailer below.
