To what extent and in what ways were the achievements of Alexander built on those of his father Philip?

I will use bullet points here to keep it brief, but I will go over the main points and in an actual answer obviously more detail would need to be gone into. The inclusion of 'to an extent' should encourage exploration both sides of the question in depth, and regular reference to the taught texts should be made to support argument (in this case, Plutarch's 'Parallel Lives' and Arrian's 'Anabasis of Alexander').
Example arguments:Financial & military support received from the League of Corinth established by Philip, inheritance of the titles hegemon and strategos autokrator, inherited Philip's own military funding to allow for three years of campaign, pre-trained military with revolutionary tactics (phalanx and the hypaspists) inherited from Philip who also created Macedonia's first professional army, recruited the royal pages through the League of Corinth, alliances formed by Philip providing essential resources (eg. Thessalian cavalry), political and military training essential in Alexander's campaign under Philip's guidance as crown price (eg. the battle of Chaeronea).
Further explanation of arguments will be given in session.
Example introduction:Whilst the achievements of Alexander are extraordinary, his fifteen-year conquest of the Persian empire even challenging the successes of the gods as suggested by Arrian, none of it would have been possible without the foundations set for him by his father Philip. From the extensive military reforms that gave Alexander the army he needed to overcome a greater Persian force, to the network of allies and resources provided by the League of Corinth, and the military and political training he received as crown prince of Macedon, Alexander owes a large part of his success to his father and his legacy.
