C is correct: Poor technique in weight-bearing positions creates inefficient loading patterns causing recurring wrist pain.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Inadequate warm-up contributes to injury but doesn’t explain recurring pain specific to weight-bearing.
B is incorrect: Core strength affects overall performance but wrist pain relates more to technical execution.
D is incorrect: Lack of taping isn’t a cause – it’s absence of prevention, not source of pain.
