Wim van Heumen

Wilhelmus ("Wim") Maria van Heumen (born October 28, 1928 – died January 31, 1992) was a field hockey coach from the Netherlands, who was in charge of the Dutch National Men's Team from 1975 to 1986. Born in Nijmegen, Gelderland, he introduced many new aspects to the modern game of field hockey in the 1970s.

Van Heumen's son Gijs led the Dutch National Women's Team to several titles in the 1980s, including the gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. At that same tournament Van Heumen sr. ended up in sixth place with the Dutch men's team.
