Is there any benefit to getting both my masters in athletic training and my doctorate in physical therapy?

There are three grad schools in the United States that have a dual degree program to get both degrees in about 4 years, but both are out of state to me and very expensive. I’ve been trying to find out if there is any true benefit of getting both degrees that will help me work with professional sports teams. Any and all help is appreciated, thank you!

What major would be best to reach a bachelors degree when going towards physical therapy ?

Hello my name is Gabby, I'm an incoming high school senior at Rancho San Juan High School. You might not be aware of our school since it just opened a couple years ago but we are located in Salinas California. My goals after high school is to attend a 4 year University and hopefully work towards something related towards the physical therapy field. I believe one of the main reasons my interested sparked for PT was my participation in sports. I'm a student athlete at Rancho, some of sports I'm a part of are our Varsity Wrestling Team, Varsity Distance Track & Field Team and I'm Varsity Cross Country Team Captain. Being part of the sport all year round caused me to also suffer many injuries throughout my seasons. Many required me to attend physical therapy and just seeing that someone helped me make a difference in my health strikes my passion to succoring others . I'm really interested in Sacramento State's PT program but I'm required to earn a bachelor's degree prior to my enrollment. What major would be best to reach a bachelors degree when going towards physical therapy ? Please let me know what would be best. Thank you.

Which undergrad major would be best suited for a doctorate in physical therapy?

As I've been looking into more colleges for admissions, I've noticed that not all of them have either kinesiology or exercise science. After looking more into it, I can't decide whether exercise sciences or kinesiology would be better suited for my major to help get my doctorate.
