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.
What does ‘lock in’ mean in this situation?

Where I’m from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.
Ok… So maybe this is a dumb question, but is it helpful to hear that when you’re having a hard time?
i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).
And personality type.

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.

I say less get over it and more “you got this”
Thank you.
