Don't give up in attempt to get a win (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

try again

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'don't give up' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'attempt to get a win' is the wordplay.
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'win' becomes 'gain' (synonyms).
'try'+'a'+'gain'='TRY AGAIN'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for try again that I've seen before include "Renew endeavour like Robert the Bruce" , "Have another go" .)
