In Brazilian culture, 'determinação focada' is highly valued and frequently referenced in sports, education, and professional success narratives. In American culture, particularly in NYC, this concept is often expressed as 'staying locked in' or 'all-in.' The phrase reflects both cultures' emphasis on goal achievement and personal discipline, though Brazilian Portuguese tends to use it more formally in motivational contexts, while American English uses more colloquial variations.
