What does 'lock in' mean in this situation?

Yours faithfully,

a confused Brit.

Traditionally, to be "locked in" on something would mean to be locked in on your target, goal, etc.

Telling someone to lock in or "lock it in" is kind of like a nice way of saying "get your shit together" or "focus up". I hear it in sports/ gaming lingo.

So it's something like 'man up'. Ok, I can understand that.

There are negative connotations around "man up"

"Lock in" it just a fancy way to say, focus. But with a "we've got this" vibe to it.
