"Deadlifts will train the muscles to overcome your body's inertia to accelerate, and they'll allow you to overcome an opponents momentum in contact sports such as football, rugby and wrestling, in which you need to stop or take down an opponent."

" For increasing absolute strength , 5-6 sets of 3-5 reps 85-90% of your one rep max; for developing explosiveness, 3-4 sets of 5-6 reps with 50-60% of your one rep max. "

that is good but how often would i do deadlifts and squats? i read about some programs that focus on deadlifts for a period of 6 weeks and no squats and dito for squats

I tend to do one or the other. squats for a few months and then deadlifts for a few months. trying to squeeze in both has always felt like a little too much with all the different sports that i play.
